How Pivot88 can help

When it comes to quality control and compliance teams, managers face an increased need to train their (often restructured) extended teams on new company initiatives and help them to be more efficient in their day-to-day activities. Onboarding new suppliers and providing training on new standards & procedures also becomes a challenge in times of social distancing and travel restrictions. Digital tools allow to develop a strong internal and external communication system, which is extremely valuable when team members and supply chain partners are no longer able to meet face to face.
