Brands competition for shelf space is increasing in the big retail chains to ensure they stay in the minds of consumers and to procure potential income; however, it is not an easy thing to accomplish.

Because of COVID-19, the logistics industry is monitoring the supply of medical goods across the globe as well as its impact, likely interruptions, and shortages.

According to Americas Market Intelligence, these are some of the opportunities arising for logistics from the crises caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The growth of the coronavirus pandemic has crated major changes in consumer habits, which has also led to interruptions in all the supply chains.

As the coronavirus pandemic grows, companies throughout the world have increased their response capabilities and have taken extraordinary measures to deliver their products and meet the new consumer habits.

Manufacturers frequently find themselves facing the question whether to carry out the warehousing, distribution, and transportation processes internally or hire the services of logistics experts.

The most important aspects of a supply chain begin at the warehouse, the place where we organize and keep products that we will later distribute. Therefore, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) – which were created to help guide every step involved in moving stock – have evolved very much in recent years.

Ten years ago, logistics trends talked about venturing into e-commerce, the emerging warehouse and transport management systems, and adding to our offer value services like packing, reverse logistics, and backhauling because all of these were necessary to keep competitive in the industry. Currently, all of the above are a reality in the operation of the largest logistics companies.
