As a tech entrepreneur in Harare’s bustling CBD, you know that keeping your shelves stocked is the key to success. But if you’re like many business owners, you rely on long sea shipments from China for your laptops, phones, and accessories. While sea freight may seem cheap on the surface, have you considered the real cost of delays?
Unreliable supply chains can lead to frequent stock-outs, meaning you miss sales opportunities and lose revenue to competitors who have the products your customers want. This kind of inventory risk can have a significant financial impact on your business. A reliable supply chain is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge and ensuring uninterrupted sales.
A new approach, like a hybrid supply chain model, can help. You can use sea freight for your bulk, non-urgent orders and switch to a faster air freight service for urgent restocks of high-demand items. This strategy optimizes both cost and efficiency, helping you maintain a full inventory and maximize your profit margins.
If you truely consider it, it would not hurt your business to have an alternative supply chain for your business, for the times your regular shipments are delayed. This also opens up the opportunity to allow your customers to request spercifig goods you may not have in stock and have a quick turn-around.
