E-commerce sales in Europe are set to rise by 18% to £131.2 billion by the end of 2014 and these increased volumes are putting unprecedented demands on the supply chains of e-commerce and omni-channel retailers.
The rapidly changing delivery expectations of e-commerce customers, driven by trends towards click & collect and next day delivery, mean that operating an effective e-commerce supply chain and fulfilment operation presents a whole new set of challenges. To meet these new expectations, e-commerce retailers need to find new solutions at every stage, from demand forecasting, through to inventory management, warehousing, technology integration and distribution.
The inaugural E-Commerce & Omni-Channel: Supply Chain & Fulfilment 2015 congress is designed specifically for supply chain, logistics and fulfilment professionals.
Consisting of 100% retailer case studies, the congress will provide customer demand-driven solutions that respond to fulfilment and supply chain challenges specific to e-commerce and omni-channel operations. Attendees will walk away with actionable solutions for meeting customer expectations and growing their customer bases.
Speakers at the congress will explain the cutting-edge solutions they have applied to quantify customer expectation, plan for peak demand periods and optimise their inventory, warehousing and distribution strategy to minimise lead times and adapt to changing customer requirements.
