The future of warehousing
Companies will continue to face multiple challenges in 2023, with high inflation, uncertain energy prices, pressing sustainability targets, and an economic slowdown. So, what is ahead for the supply chain industry? How will market dynamics affect warehouse management? And how can we turn challenges into opportunities?
Join CONNECT, our global customer event on 19-20 April 2023, where we will take a closer look at 4 key trends shaping the warehouse of tomorrow. We will find answers to questions such as:
- Is warehouse automation the savior to be ready for the future?
- How can we go from reactive to proactive warehouse management?
- Will distribution networks be centralized or decentralized?
- How to boost sustainability in the warehouse?
