CSCMP and NDL jointly hosted an event on the future of e-fulfilment, including an exciting tour at the Karl Lagerfeld and Amazon operation of Bleckmann Logistics.

After the Covid years which witnessed an immense growth in e-commerce and the landscape filled with massive e-fulfilment centres, 2023 was a year of stabilisation. At the same time, requirements for e-fulfilment have become stricter and more challenging. Consumers expect faster, more flexible, more reliable, but also more sustainable delivery options. Cities around Europe introduce stringent limitations on emissions and trend-setting companies are increasingly looking at moving towards circular production and supply chains.

What do all these developments mean for logistics? And do these new requirements pose a threat to the profitability of the logistics industry or are there opportunities to expand their services?

This resulted in an exciting event, with presentations by industry experts and thought-provoking discussions during the seminar “The future of e-fulfilment” organised jointly by NDL and the CSCMP Benelux Roundtable.
