In this episode of Rethinking Supply Chain we’re back with Matt Blattman, Venzee’s Marketing Intern, who shares his perspectives on supply chain management given his experience with the company. Venzee CEO John Abrams picks Matt’s brain to learn about a Gen Z perception of supply chain.
They discuss what Matt has learned during his experience at Venzee, and how the work they do affects supply chain management. Matt notes that he was surprised to learn how distant online vendors may be from their product manufacturer. In his experience shopping on Amazon, he had to do extra research on a third party site for full product information.
Parts of supply chain data and information sharing are still seriously lacking, which was surprising to Matt. Since learning about what Venzee does to automate digital supply chains, he has come to realize why consumers shopping online still receive products that don’t live up to their expectations.
Finally, John and Matt talk about how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the supply chain, the great toilet paper shortage of 2020, and Matt’s experience of the pandemic while abroad in Australia. It really opened his eyes to the gaps in supply chain management, and piqued his interest in how to improve the entire industry.
