Retail
Nowadays the supply chain environment and consequently the consumer and retail industry, are facing different challenges than in the past. Sourcing has become global, distances longer, and the economy more fragile, adding further complexity, and therefore greater risk to your supply chain. Furthermore, the industry is characterized by increasingly demanding and informed consumers. Demanding customers, hyper-competitive markets, multi-channel retailing, increased customization, ever-expanding range of products, sizes, styles, weights, colors and other SKU variations, continually enlarges the inventory of most retailers, which has major implications for logistics.
