The Portuguese capital city of Lisbon is playing host to one of the most important events in the e-commerce logistics and supply chain industry, Deliver.
Some describe Deliver as the “Davos of e-commerce” because it attracts all the most important e-commerce companies as well as the companies which provide the technology they rely on.
And that’s why we’re here.
E-commerce companies are increasingly dependent on technologies such as conveyors, automated storage and retrieval systems, robots, and even artificial intelligence to gain a competitive edge over their rivals.
And in such a competitive market with relatively low margins, any slim advantage is fought for as though the survival of the business depends on it. [Read more…] about ‘E-logistics’ event Deliver opens its doors in Portugal
