Working remotely has put a renewed emphasis on technology. In March 2020, remote work was considered a temporary measure to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Twelve months later, it looks like working off-site is here to stay. Some companies are continuing remote work policies as a measure to protect their employees.

With the pandemic still raging across the globe, the question many organizations are asking is, are supply chain teams prepared to continue working off-site? The answer is, that depends on what software and processes they decide to use.

For months, teams adapted as best they could to what they initially hoped was a temporary situation. The strategic approach was to defer large investments in new solutions while the depth and breadth of pandemic-related issues were sorted out.

After about a year of trial and error, organizations have a better handle on which things worked and which did not to maintain smooth-running supply chains. As we head into 2021, here are a few recommendations based on those experiences.

Not only has COVID-19 affected companies’ and consumers’ dynamics more than we can fathom, new food legislation and a global trade war have also been key disruptive factors. What were considered crystal clear trends at the beginning of the year have transformed, giving way to new trends to which farmers, producers, manufacturers and food retailers were forced to adapt.

Here are three significant consumer trends seen in the past months and how they affect the food industry today:

1. Consumer behavior is continuously changing
2. Increase in online grocery shopping
3. Savvy consumers

The company is assisting in streamlining supply chain labeling during these difficult times with free access to its labeling software Cloud Label Service.

Santa Clara, California, April 9th, 2020 — Gaea Global Technologies, Inc., a leader in supply chain, logistics, and project management, has been providing free access to its labeling software Cloud Label Service since April first to all health and food companies during COVID-19 breakout.

COVID-19 has put the supply chain in the spotlight as demand keeps increasing, companies need to react fast to meet not only end-users needs but also providers. The demand for oat milk has increased 477 percent compared to the same time last year and dried beans 231 percent. On the other hand, medical supplies such as masks, gloves and, medical gowns are crucial to follow protocols and hospitals are in need of those more than ever.

Gaea decided to take part in the initiative to fight the breakout and help companies to avoid any supply chain disruption and shortages caused by label errors. The company made an official announcement on their social media last week.

Amin Sikander, co-founder, added, “We wanted to do our bit in this fight that affects all of us. Incorrect labeling is the first reason for food recalls, and half of the medical device recalls are due to packaging issues, including label errors. By giving free access to Cloud Label Service, we intend to support these industries and minimize the risk of stopping an entire supply chain during this sensitive time.”

Cloud Label Service is a web-based platform that centralizes label information across the entire supply chain and ensures that all suppliers have access to current, correct label templates. The platform can be fully operational within a day depending on the complexity; after that, label updates can be deployed instantly across multiple suppliers worldwide.
