Logistics
As the logistics industry,
and the broader business world, looks to 2019, it’s time to explore what the
next year will bring to logistics. As the president of a logistics company,
I've outlined four predictions that I believe the logistics industry will
experience over the next year.
Retail
U.S. retail sales rebounded sharply in October as purchases of
motor vehicles and building materials surged.Sales were likely driven by
rebuilding efforts in areas devastated by Hurricane Florence.The Commerce
Department said retail sales increased 0.8 percent last month also as
households bought electronics and appliances.Economists polled by Reuters had
forecast retail sales increasing 0.5 percent in October. Retail sales in
October rose 4.6 percent from a year ago.
Supply Chain
A new age for the supply
chain is here, ushered in by customer demand, soaring expectations and endless
purchasing possibilities. Retailers, manufacturers and third-party logistics
companies are moving faster and producing more with shorter turnarounds,
greater transparency and more purpose than ever before, and the transformation
is unstoppable. Buying decisions can occur or alter course in seconds.
