My answer is...better than 2020.

True! Suppliers have had to up their game and sharpen their pencil on cost-to-serve and customer segmentation initiatives!

Definitely true. Technology has made it easier to communicate with suppliers. We can now communicate with suppliers in real time, which makes it easier to resolve issues and get things done.
