Building OneFamily: Our Global Supply Chain
Our business ecosystem relies on our 40+ major suppliers in 10 different time zones with 8 spoken languages. How do we keep our global supply chain team engaged and performing?
We work closely with each supplier, with transparency and honesty.
“We are absolutely OneFamily. And if [our suppliers] don’t deliver the hardware when we need it, then the factory stops. So we are reliant on our bigger family not just the group of people working here but also that supply chain.”
