Planning logistics demands is more important now than ever

It is not a secret that planning is necessary when we talk about future demands. We explained here that to plan an efficient logistics and supply chain process, it is required:

• Forecasting: anticipating scenarios based on data from previous demands
• Cost control: increase efficiency and best results
• Technology: real-time information to helping the best decisions.

However, 2020 affected all industries forcing everyone to adapt to a new reality. Due to the pandemic, this year has become a challenging moment for businesses to reinvent themselves. At the beginning of the year, reports showed that in the next years for B2B and B2C markets would be followed by an unparalleled rise of e-commerce demands. The rising happened already in 2020. Consumers had altered their shopping behaviours to minimize contact during the pandemic. It is time to think if your business is prepared for what is already coming.

While we go-ahead to the end of the year, holiday sales are always a busy season for e-commerce. Focus on a logistic strategy that will remain your business competitive and answering consumers’ needs at the same time, can help companies to move forward in this incredibly difficult period.
