Competing trends toward local food and year-round availability of exotic items make grocery supply chains ever more complex. Add increased regulatory requirements for traceability and increased demand and labeling for organic and non-genetically modified foods, and the need for a well integrated grocery supply chain rapidly becomes critical. If you want to capture market share and gain customer loyalty through the provision of the freshest and broadest selections, supply chain and logistics optimisation is essential to your market position and perceived value.
The typically narrow margins of most grocers can't be forgotten in the drive to quickly deliver the best and freshest products. With increased competition from discount super-retailers, grocers find their margins squeezed even more. To compete effectively, you need to optimise product movement to increase inventory turns, reduce warehouse lead time and eliminate surplus inventory from your supply chain.
