Your challenges

Sector challenges

Omnichannel complexity, margin pressure, increasing customer expectations, supply disruptions and environmental challenges are forcing distribution supply chains to reinvent themselves to stay competitive.

Sector challenges

Adapting to omnichannel demands and the rise of e-commerce

The facts

  • E-commerce continues to expand, driving the need for more complex and agile logistics models.
  • Rising customer expectations (next-day delivery, seamless returns, traceability) are putting increasing pressure on warehousing and transportation operations.
  • Distributors must manage B2B and B2C flows simultaneously, each with very different operational requirements.

Les préconisations

  • Rethink supply chain flows and adapt organizations and processes to serve each channel while maintaining cost efficiency and service levels.
Our solutions

Optimizing costs and inventory levels in a context of increasing margin pressure

The facts

  • Increasing transportation and energy costs are putting pressure on operating margins.
  • Excess inventory ties up working capital, while stockouts negatively impact customer satisfaction.
  • Demand forecasting is becoming increasingly complex as customer buying behaviors become more volatile.

Les préconisations

  • Enhance inventory control, improve demand forecasting accuracy and optimize logistics costs while maintaining target service levels.
Our solutions

Accelerate the transformation towards a more sustainable and digitally enabled supply chain

The facts

  • Environmental regulations (CSRD, carbon footprint assessments) are driving greater traceability requirements across supply chain flows and suppliers.
  • Warehouse digitalization (WMS, automation, AI) is becoming a critical lever for improving competitiveness.
  • Consumers increasingly expect tangible commitments on the sustainability of products and supply chain operations.

Les préconisations

  • Embed sustainability considerations into logistics decision-making and accelerate the adoption of digital solutions to enhance visibility and operational efficiency.
  • Deploy end-to-end traceability solutions to comply with regulatory requirements and support audit processes.
  • Optimize transportation routes and vehicle fill rates to reduce logistics emissions.
