Webinar on warehouse logistics in the e-commerce boom: Experts answer your questions

Find out how online retailers and logistics centers are mastering the challenges of individual customer requests and mass returns with more efficient logistics processes in the exclusive professional webinar: “Keeping up with the speed of e-commerce.”

‍

Since the home office trend, I've been seeing how strongly online retail is booming at my own front door. Since I live on the ground floor, I feel like I accept four to five broadcasts for neighbors almost every day. These include boxes with the logos of chain stores, which could be reached on foot in five minutes. Just double the time, i.e. ten minutes, was enough to have an express delivery service leave a tomato or a jar of jam on my doorstep.

On a small scale, this anecdote shows a major industry trend that is drawing the entire federal territory far beyond my delivery district in Hanover. Have everything delivered the same day or even earlier — e-commerce is the “new normal” for consumers. They order more and more often, at short notice and more.

At SYNAOS, it is not only in our advice for logistics clients that this development is both an opportunity and a challenge for e-commerce warehouses. Which side of the coin is turning to you: Is your logistics prepared for this new normal or is the boom overwhelming your current order management?

To make it easier for you to answer this question for yourself, we will address it in a panel discussion with industry experts. We embed the exchange of ideas in a webinar, which you can experience live and free of charge.‍

These insights about the future of e-commerce warehouses await you

‍In the exclusive webinar “Keeping up with the speed of e-commerce”, online retailers and warehouse operators learn which core problems the current challenges can be broken down to and how logistics managers solve them. The webinar shows perspectives on how to operate e-commerce warehouses more flexibly and at the same time more cost-effectively so that you can meet booming demand.

In particular, managers of e-commerce companies that operate their logistics in-house benefit from the webinar insights. Anyone with an extensive and diverse product portfolio or complex sales structures is currently particularly challenged. Good advice is just a few clicks away. Because these scenarios are among the main areas of work and interest of our panel discussants.
