Summer may be just around the corner, but retailers are already gearing up for the holiday season. What may seem like a long time in the future for consumers is not only the busiest and most profitable time of the year for an entire industry, but also the most challenging.
Not only must the right goods be available early and on time, whether on the shop floor or in the warehouse. To be successful throughout the year, especially during peak periods, solid, data-driven forecasting and planning is essential. Only then can the right people with the right skills be in the right place at the right time. All while considering all the important external factors - such as customer behavior or the weather. So that at the end of the day, customer service is right, and orders are shipped on time.
At the ATOSS Retail & Logistics Day on June 19, we took a closer look at precisely these topics. You can look forward to Future Trends in Retail presented by Milangelo Maduro from Capgemini and a best practice tour from and with our customers with a demo view.
