Has demand for your products changed since the start of the year?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The change in consumer demand as a result of the lockdown conditions imposed by governments around the world has created new problems for producers. Some industries have seen a sharp decline in demand, for example automotive, but others have seen huge increases in demand in the scale typically seen in the run up to major holidays such as Christmas. Factories in the #food, #beverage and #personal care markets are very used to managing seasonal variations in demand for their products, but this takes planning. The unexpected and sudden change has created problems throughout the supply chain from primary producer through to retailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have the lockdown rules created staffing problems for you?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the change in demand, many businesses are also being impacted by government guidance around #social distancing. Some staff are working from home, others are forced into #self-isolation because of medical conditions that do not generally affect their performance at work. When staff are on site, they are required to keep a distance from colleagues. Some businesses have had to run additional shifts with smaller numbers of people to ensure they can meet demand and maintain social distancing of staff on site. Whilst it is possible to split the operators across shifts, this creates difficulties for managers who either need to be onsite for long hours or trust others to supervise operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many businesses, including Linx, have had to adapt quickly to the changing world they find themselves in. Staff are working from home, social distancing measures have changed production patterns, but the priority continues to be to focus on meeting customer needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linx has long been extolling the virtues of connecting Linx printers to #Linx PrinterNet to help you manage your production lines and to receive world class support, and PrinterNet has been invaluable in allowing their technical teams to continue to offer fast and friendly support while working from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these unprecedented times, support becomes even more important. Here are some of the ways our customers have told us that PrinterNet has helped them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
