National Conference 2023
7-8 March 2023, Crowne Plaza, Stratford-upon-Avon
Digitalisation & Automation: Tech for Tough Times
The predicted surge in digital transformation is here, gathering pace and bringing fundamental changes to warehouse operations of the future.
Already warehousing has been transformed, gaining greater prominence in the retail supply chain as bricks and mortar stores close and retailers focus instead on delivering directly to consumers. Now, providing complex value-add services and managing ever larger numbers of SKUs with omnichannel inventory, warehouses are expected to operate with fewer errors, while achieving faster response times and increased visibility.
To meet these challenges and to combat the pressures of rising costs and ongoing labour shortages, warehouse operators simply have no choice now but to embrace technology – not only to survive, but to thrive.
At this year’s National Conference, discover how technology can help in tough times by improving your operational performance, increasing productivity, and ultimately lowering costs. Join us to benefit your business, optimise your operations and secure your future.
