For the past decade, the consumer and retail sector has experienced major structural and operational upheavals due to the emergence of digital technologies and e-commerce, as well as intensified competition and changes in consumer behavior.
These transformations force distributors and their suppliers to offer a high-quality customer path and experience, with minimal delivery times, while reducing costs.
Digitalizing and automating commercial and logistics exchanges are essential factors for meeting these challenges.
