It’s no secret that the logistics and supply chain space is undergoing countless changes in recent years. With e-commerce on the rise and global trade expanding, companies are finding it harder and harder to keep up with the demand for goods and services. Regardless of the industry they are in, businesses need to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and developments in the field of logistics and supply chain management, and find innovative ways to overcome the obstacles posed by the increasingly complex supply chains around the world.
According to our media partner Parcel Monitor, one of the biggest challenges has to do with the retailers’ growing reliance on third-party logistics providers to manage their supply chain operations.
