As a result of the gradual changes that are taking place in the industry with the management of the epidemic, companies must now develop economic models aimed at the recovery and reactivation of the different sectors. Decreased costs, increased production, efficient billing and collection are his new priorities. Additionally, organizations with the objective of improving their efficiency in production systems are leaning on investment in technology. ” Openness to change is the great catalyst for the efforts that companies make towards the post-David-19 era, in order to regain their sustainability and market presence.” Explains James Hernández, president and co-founder of Trust Corporate.

It is estimated that once the pandemic ends, companies will incorporate changes and models in the way they work naturally since their livelihood will depend on it. Companies that do not understand it this way will not be able to ride the wave of new production models, using more advanced technologies, and will be destined to disappear.
