• More Flexibility
This is because local suppliers are typically more reactive than those further away. They are able to deliver products more quickly, and it is much simpler for a supplier to coordinate a shipment across the neighborhood than around the world.

• Greater Control
Face-to-face visits will allow you to address any concerns and ensure all products meet your standards. There’s also less chance of things being “lost in translation,” which often occurs when working with far-flung teams of people, many of whom aren’t actually on the floor and touching your products.

• Reduced Supply Chain Costs
Many of these costs can be reduced by localizing the supply chain. And, with less money being sunk into logistics, there will be less weighing down your bottom line.

• Good For The Community
Happy, well-paid employees are more likely to invest in local businesses. Additionally, respected and well-off businesses are in a position to contribute to communities through fundraising, volunteering, benefits, and sponsored activities.

• It Helps The Environment
Localizing the supply chain represents a tremendous opportunity to help the environment. When we reduce shipping and storage, we also reduce emissions and energy usage.
