Prioritize operational visibility before labor management
The importance of and demand for labor management solutions has skyrocketed recently. The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed this trend. As the supply chain recentered itself on E-commerce, which requires four times the amount of labor, operations are feeling the stress of increased costs.
