In the 2021 Framework For the Future of Real Estate, the World Economic Forum underlines the importance of transforming the increasingly complex #logistics ecosystem to ensure healthy margins for retailers.
“To achieve a cost-effective #supplychain, the logistic footprint must be well optimized with an end-to-end approach, which includes reinventing last-mile delivery by integrating logistic centres into cities to achieve ambitious delivery times, adopting more efficient delivery modes.
To deliver orders under extremely short lead times, operators must be near the end customer, and #vertical facilities are one of the most economical and feasible solutions.”
