Ms. Rossi and Mr. Wang had their work done: the production of the huge and complex industrial machine was completed on the scheduled time. In China, Mr. Wang was sure about the quality of his team work, but he still could not sleep. “How can you move such a huge machine from China to Italy, in the middle of a pandemic that is disrupting the entire world’s supply chains, and deliver it to the final destination on the agreed day? That’s almost impossible, he thought. “I will at least end up paying the delay charges”. In Italy, Ms. Rossi was afraid “it’s a complex shipment and it is quite impossible to find space in a vessel; if I do not match the agreed deadline I will lose my customer”.
The story of Ms. Rossi and Mr. Wang is something that resonates with all of us, as we all have experienced the disruption and the uncertainty that the international commerce is currently facing due to the pandemic effects worldwide.
That’s why today, want to tell you that even in the toughest times success happens when forward-thinking partnerships are established: this is the case of the D.B. Group for Systema S.P.A shipment.
