Supply Chain Disruptions & Logistics Cost Inflation
Definition
Administrative services firms supporting document management, mail handling, and supply chain functions face persistent disruptions and cost inflation. Container shortages, storage space constraints, and elevated freight charges directly increase cost of goods sold and reduce margins. For firms providing document management, storage, or logistics-adjacent admin services, these are direct margin erosions. Even for traditional admin services (staffing, clerical), supply disruptions affect operational costs (office supplies, tech equipment, facility management). Firms must absorb or pass through these costs; in competitive markets, absorption is forced. Supply chain restructuring policies and long-term investments require capital and planning bandwidth.
