CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE Covid-19 has upended the global economy, causing major supply chain disruptions. Nevertheless, a rising ecosystem of technology-focused solutions is promoting supply chain resilience to address current market uncertainty, particularly for retailers and brands. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused unanticipated supply and demand volatility, bringing high levels of uncertainty to the retail and consumer product supply chains. To stay competitive, retailers and brands must find ways to accurately forecast and track inventory, efficiently fulfill orders across channels, optimize last-mile delivery to consumers, and more. Aiding in this transformation, supply chain and logistics technology solutions are emerging to help businesses introduce more visibility, automation, and coordination across their supply chains. In this report, we dig into 13 technology trends across supply chain and logistics — identified using our data-driven NExTT framework — in the context of the retail and consumer product sectors. While major retailers like Target have acquired delivery management technology — a necessary trend for satisfying rising demand for home delivery — new threatening trends like robotic fulfillment are gaining traction as solutions for faster online order fulfillment. As demand remains uncertain across many retail categories, experimental trends like on-demand warehousing could help retailers and brands manage inventory with increased flexibility. Meanwhile, transitory trends like digital freight matching, which aims to efficiently match shippers (e.g. retailers or brands) with carriers, are facing challenges in the strained trucking market.
