MHD Supply Chain News has set new records for reader engagement as it updates all people working in logistics, warehousing and supply chain with the latest industry developments, innovations and successes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The logistics, transport and supply chain industries are deemed as essential services that must continue to operate to support the economy on a global scale during this challenging time.
MHD Supply Chain News is proud to report it achieved its record number of page views on 26 March, following a newsletter that broke stories across the industry leading to high engagement and a record number of online readers.
Digital engagement is up across its website, social media and newsletter and the monthly printed magazine offers insight into the changing landscape of the logistics and supply chain industry that cannot be found in any other news outlet.
The MHD editorial team continues to collaborate with industry leaders to produce relevant stories focused on showcasing the developments as well as the wider industry action. As always, there is an emphasis on sourcing original content and exploring new topics that will support and inform readers during this time.
As major news outlets continue to report on the strains the supply chain is experiencing and show a general perspective on the logistics industry, MHD’s close relationship with leading distributors, companies and decision makers has given the publication exclusive access to content and stories that cannot be found elsewhere.
As more people stay home and choose to shop online, volume rates on online orders have grown significantly. Contact-free delivery is now a new-age delivery practice and companies are considering new automation and technology to cope with fulfilment and demand. Risk management is also higher up the agenda and businesses are exploring more and more ways to enhance their supply chain.
Over the past few months, MHD has revealed exclusive stories including one of Australia’s largest pharmaceutical companies operating a 24-hour production line in Melbourne’s south-east due to demand for hand sanitiser, grocery supply chains in unprecedented demand for pantry and household stock and Coles and Woolworths new partnerships with global tech companies to advance their fulfilment capabilities.
The MHD view is that while there may be empty shelves across the nation, this is as an opportunity for supply chain and logistics to build on its current processes to meet high demand. As more people shift to home offices and gyms, tech, office goods, gym equipment supply are also in high demand which means distribution, freight and supply chain volumes are soaring and timely delivery is now more critical than ever.
Logistics, warehousing and supply chain workers count on MHD as a reliable source that puts its industry’s interests at the forefront.
As a publication solely focused on Australia’s essential service, MHD endeavours to provide the resources and content to support the freight, logistics, and supply chain industry to learn and grow from the shared experiences during this unprecedented increase in demand.
