With reports about the tariffs taking up more and more headlines, LinkedIn posts, and tense conversations in boardrooms, Inbound Logistics asked the team at Boxzooka to share our take on how to prepare in the present and to prosper in the future.

Our founder and CEO, Brendan Heegan, was recently featured in a leading industry article titled “Tariffs Can Drag Down Your Supply Chain, Unless You’re Prepared.” Brendan shared how ecommerce and retail businesses can keep their supply chains intact even with tariff-related disruptions in global logistics. 

As international tariffs continue to shift, Brendan discussed how to build internal resilience in the face of external upheavals. The root of his advice centered on proactive planning, strategic sourcing, and technology-driven solutions. 

How to Optimize Supply Chains 

Diversifying supplier networks, optimizing shipping routes, and partnering with well-established 3PL providers (like Boxzooka) can help mitigate the effects of rising costs, transportation delays, and other impacts from the new tariffs.

Brendan told Inbound Logistics that the key to reducing supply chain costs and increasing customer satisfaction lies in taking a proactive approach to supply chain management – not a reactive one. He stressed that the important role that technology plays (such as Transportation Management Systems and Warehouse Management Systems) in modern logistics cannot be overstated.
