The last few years have shown us how important it is for organizations to future proof their service supply chain due to all the changes in volatile tariffs, severe and unpredicted weather events and the pandemic. The weeklong blockage of one of the world’s busiest waterways, the Suez Canal, resulted in a complete breakdown of the global trade forum. This was yet another eye-opener for the business world as fragility and uncertainty created a ripple effect throughout the global service supply chain.

When it comes to any crisis in supply chain management, we focus on the ‘now’ and on probabilities and situations that might arise in the future and impact clients

All these events have forced a lot of in-depth examination of sole sourced or single region served supply chain risks and they are now more complex than ever, especially with the connected nature of our global societies and technologies. It has been especially challenging for OEMs to find ways to ensure the on-time delivery of their high-tech service parts and meeting their customers’ stringent SLAs. It has truly made OEMs realize they need an integrated service supply chain solution that combines spare parts forward and reverse logistics, seamless communication, and end-to-end visibility to create an ecosystem to tackle disruptions and achieve supply chain resilience.

Fulfilling this need for high-tech OEMs is Flash Global, a worldwide service supply chain provider that designs and implements end-to-end service supply chain solutions while accelerating clients’ business growth.

Flash can provide services that may help businesses reduce their overhead of building, staffing, and establishing legal entities in every country they need to service. Furthermore, Flash provides the ability for their clients to focus on driving revenue and selling high-margin service contracts, all the while acting as an extension of their team, providing consistency 24x7x365 to meet their KPIs.

“When it comes to any crisis in supply chain management, we focus on the ‘now’ and on probabilities and situations that might arise in the future and impact clients. We encourage them to develop business continuity plans and prepare for varying disruptions in the supply chain. For this, we offer an end-to-end solution that provides maximum up-time 24/7/365,” states Sam Mikles, Flash Global President & CEO.
