As supply chains become more complex and customer expectations continue to rise, logistics businesses are facing pressure to deliver more while reducing costs and environmental impact. Meanwhile, McKinsey identifies transportation and warehousing as having one of the highest automation potentials of any sector, with logistics businesses particularly well placed to benefit.

Join logistics experts, technology innovators, businesses, and SMEs to explore how data and intelligent automation can help you overcome capacity and delivery constraints, reduce environmental impact and build smarter, more efficient, and more responsive operations.

During the session, you will discover how smarter use of data and automation can:

  • Improve accuracy, traceability and consistency,
  • Increase throughput within constrained space,
  • Support growth without continually adding people or infrastructure,
  • Address labour availability and resilience challenges,
  • Enable later order cut-offs,
  • Deliver faster response times.

The Smart Logistics Forum will be facilitated by Gavin Parnell, Director at The Supply Chain Consulting Group and a logistics and supply chain expert with over 20 years’ industry experience, who has delivered projects for businesses including ASDA and Sainsbury’s.
