Tariffs are taxes imposed on imported and exported items, usually used by governments to protect domestic industries or generate revenue. However, tariffs may result in higher expenses, supply chain interruptions, and pricing challenges for companies that depend on foreign commerce. To stay afloat, businesses need to come up with ways to navigate these financial obstacles. Implementing smarter asset management is a crucial strategy.
Daisy, CEO of a tech solutions company, realized she needed to take immediate action after she noticed a sudden increase in operating expenses brought on by newly imposed tariffs on imported electronic components. The rise in costs significantly impacted pricing strategies and supply chain efficiency. Although she knew she had little control over tariffs, Daisy realized that these challenges could be lessened by optimizing internal operations.
