While some risks are inevitable, their impact can be mitigated. Ally-sourcing means partnering with sources that align with your company's political, environmental, social, and economic views. This strategy goes beyond traditional vendor selection, focusing on shared values and goals. Key takeaways: 1️⃣ Engage a holistic team when setting ally-sourcing objectives. 2️⃣ Identify cooperative countries that support your beliefs. 3️⃣ Select specific suppliers who resonate with your criteria. 4️⃣ Aim for long-term benefits, fostering strong relationships and clear communication. Dive deeper into the nuances of ally-sourcing and its potential to fortify your supply chain against global risks in our latest blog post. https://lnkd.in/eZ5T59GX #SupplyChain #GlobalBusiness #AllySourcing #ExecutiveInsights

This is so true. This is very prominent in the B2B and procurement sector. For the last 2 years, in my clientele alone... Many of our serviced companies and executives have had significant losses in companies due to airline delays, luggage lost and travel inconveniences. Most travel agencies are not equipped to handle such high end & high pressure situations. It takes a certain kind of high level concierge offering end to end travel solution to address these gaps (at Amplified27 this is a complimentary service for our VIPs, if they have hired one of our precision VAs, which we train to also perform high speed luggage location for example, in connection with airlines, no matter the mishap!). Case in point — just in 2022-2023's records alone, transactions reported a significant travel decrease and a sharp decline on purchase patterns in the hospitality and travel sector with major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, Discover, JCB, American Express, Citi of about 50% to 70% dip on low. However industry was able to reach a 65% increase in recovery in travel-related transactions in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. With assistive and integrative support from high level concierge travel agencies or adding a similar extension in your company or firm, you can generate high income + higher CRM retention. This is due to the fact that shorter protocols and faster real-time turnaround solutions enable synergy and momentum which then reflects on the P&L as growth rendered in service over time — a far cry from wasted time in airports and waiting for airlines to return your luggage or deal with the refunds or canceled/rescheduled trips — which hampers efficiency at the large picture. Having this extra function or service can help clients in manufacturing, B2B & procurement particularly those in urgent-field sectors such as healthcare, pharmaceutical, retail & FMCG save costs, by being serviced with a dedicated travel concierge team attentive to their needs as your employees and teams give their best for every work-related travel or international meeting.
