- Implemented processing facility contingencies, with the ability to deploy operational team members to alternate locations in the event of facility staffing shortages
- Continuous monitoring of our supply chain to proactively mitigate major risks that would limit our ability to deliver service
- Leveraging an extensive work-from-home capability for customer service, management and sales team members
