Lack of automation
To build sustainable and stable relationships with your buyers, invest and make technology available to your teams.
Automation helps save time, money and effort, stop using it in logistics is opening gaps in the tracking of orders and shipments.

Bad hiring
Inefficient management can bring down your operations.

Develop your people, empower them, and form good leaders. A company with a strong leadership culture goes far.
Prioritize training and develop a culture of cooperation, in which employees see themselves as a team where one makes mistakes, everyone makes mistakes.
Miscalculation
Miscalculated costs can be very expensive because they lead to loss of revenue, which is not good for any company.
Do not keep up with the market
