Worldwide, distribution has become a particularly dynamic economic sector, and trade itself has undergone mutations on all levels, diversifying sales methods and forms of distribution. The main phenomena that generated this "mutation" are:

• the demographic phenomena that left their mark on the evolution of customer tastes, favoring the modernization of distribution

• increasing purchasing power, diversifying needs and ways to satisfy them

• the transformation of the way of life determined by the increasingly high degree of urbanization, the expansion of large cities through the development of new neighborhoods, etc.

Transit, the transport and logistics business magazine, has recently published an article about Frisbo's story and the future of logistics that is in the cloud.

In the current economic context, the idea of buying a WMS system has become increasingly popular among companies that have less complex systems of storage and large incomes, but also for companies with a large number of customers and low volume turnover.
 
The main function of a warehouse management system is to control the movement and storage of products in the store and transaction-related operations and processes.
 

Cross-docking is a warehouse activity, a transfer of goods from trucks that come from a distribution center (from manufacturers in most cases) onto trucks that go to the final customers. Cross-docking means reducing or partially removing the storage activity, reducing the stock activities (inventory, putaway, transfer, etc) and, finally, the costs.

As mentioned previously, late last year I had the opportunity to meet a few Logistics Managers, to reconfirm the most important challenges in their field. The conclusions of these meetings were made from both the interviews and my personal observations, and among the most important challenges in logistics management was the lack of flexibility.

Late last year, I had the opportunity to have some one-on-one meetings with several logistics managers to speak about the most important challenges of their professional life. It was not my first contact with logistics, so I knew these will be interesting discussions and hopefully long enough. I say that because their most precious and also rare resource is time.

Logistics is an area about which we discuss a lot as it is an area in constant transformation. What causes this transformation? Changes in technology flows, increased production or rapid evolution of e-commerce all cause the same result: logistics transformation.
Let’s see how the future of logistics or the logistics of the future looks like!

As mentioned in our previous article, e-commerce has completely changed the face of commerce. The world is in a continuous transformation and the most important factors to influence success are time and information. This is what the best performing companies do: give as much information as possible about their products through all the existing channels and ensure a rapid delivery. That’s why e-commerce companies had to adapt to customers’ expectations and find new distribution channels. Innovation and agility are essential for success in business.
