Ask An Expert | Bigger & Smaller? How The Need For Speed Is Impacting Retail Supply Chains

Dematic’s Market Development Director Kim Baudry is back once again to help Chris and Anne kick off 2024 as part of their ongoing live Ask An Expert Interview Series on LinkedIn.

Chris and Anne go in depth with Kim as she discusses the big trends that are shaping retailers’ and manufacturers’ approaches to supply chain network development, including:

  • Why retailers are moving their investments into smaller facilities with more flexible automation
  • Why manufacturers are going in the opposite direction and trying to get bigger with more proven automation solutions
  • What considerations each party should give towards these decisions
  • And perhaps, most importantly, how long we can expect these trends to last and what will happen next
