Episode 64: The importance of digitalisation within retail supply chain
“Digitalisation gives a retailer a platform to see their shipments from end-to-end, which drives a whole heap of benefits from data, but also to give them an ease of access to data and to shipment locations.”
In our latest episode of Freight to the Point, Greg Tress, Logistics Operations Manager at MATCHES joins Alex Hersham, CEO and Co-founder at Zencargo on Freight to the Point to discuss how retailers can unlock supply chain success with digital freight forwarding.
Together they explore:
- The requirements retailers should look for in a digital freight forwarder.
- How to leverage data from partners to optimise the supply chain.
- The importance of partnerships and collaboration in the supply chain.
