The South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) has branded their internal supply chain solutions service as Supply chain Authority, SCPA announced on Tuesday.
The South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) has formally launched its internal consulting service, Supply Chain Authority, for port customers to utilize in order to improve their supply chains, the SCPA said in a statement Tuesday.
The Supply Chain Authority entails an internal team working within operations and terminals, commercial and economic development, and information technology assist customers with their supply chain hiccups, the port authority said. SCPA has provided the service for many years, but just recently branded it.
“South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) is already known for the customized service we offer shippers and cargo owners, who have extremely complex and constantly-changing global supply chains,” said Jim Newsome, SCPA president and CEO. “Our announcement of the Supply Chain Authority today is the formalization of this process, which often occurs behind the scenes. We look forward to expanding the number of cargo customers who partner with our internal experts to bring clarity to various supply chain components. Our goal is to offer solutions and insight that ultimately give customers one less thing to worry about.”
In addition to internal assistance, the Supply Chain Authority can also work with partner organizations and agencies in the state that customers have difficulty accessing on their own, SCPA said.
“Our team of experts is adept at working with customers individually to understand their business and identify real opportunities to improve reliability and efficiencies within the supply chain,” said Paul McClintock, SCPA senior vice president of sales and marketing. “Whether a company is considering South Carolina for a new or expanding operation, or just seeking incremental improvement of its logistical challenges, our team is a valuable resource.”
