Warehouse property costs are rising and there is increased workplace regulation and a high demand for warehouse labour, all of which combine to put pressure on supply chain costs.

Consumers expect to be able to look at, touch and feel an item in store, compare prices among various retailers online, order it and have it delivered to a location of choice at a time that’s convenient to them.

This consumer behaviour is driving demand for flexible and agile supply chain solutions in this challenging retail environment. With the huge (ever increasing) growth of eFulfilment the need for fast turnaround in the warehouse to manage deliveries and returns value recovery has never been greater.
