As the post-pandemic retail landscape continues to morph, consumer goods companies must think more creatively than ever to keep both their consumers engaged and their retail partners satisfied across all channels.
Nike is letting its consumers take the reins, poised to capitalize on a customer-driven omnichannel approach that’s backed by ongoing supply chain strengthening and increased digital capabilities.
Amazon is building out its supply chain services for sellers, offering merchants the ability to distribute products from its warehouses to physical stores and fulfillment centers.
Consumer goods company P&G has stepped up its collaborative commerce strategy, moving forward with slashing SKUs, and now communicating the benefits of this approach by leveraging retailer shelf set data.
Fruits and vegetable provider Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. is building out logistics capabilities, adding a number of temperature-controlled storage facilities to its fulfillment centers.
Lack of real-time inventory visibility was chosen by retailers as the top priority of “high importance” that needs to be resolved through technology upgrades or implementations, making it a prime use case for AI in the supply chain.
