Managing Logistics and Shipping Costs

Logistics is another critical component of the apparel supply chain, particularly in the U.S. where consumer expectations for fast delivery are high. Rising shipping costs and unpredictable delays can negatively impact a business’s bottom line.

From tracking shipments to monitoring inventory levels, businesses can leverage digital tools to gain greater visibility into their supply chains. At D&J, we use advanced software to provide real-time updates to our partners, allowing them to track every step of the production and delivery process. This transparency helps businesses make informed decisions and better manage their supply chain operations.
