In the future, the market will insist that supply chains for goods distribution in online retail provide next-day delivery, same-day delivery and just-in-time deliveries. Adjustment and optimisation of the entire supply chain are necessary to enable these services at minimal cost. Warehouse network structures must be adapted and harmonised according to highly efficient transport strategies. The warehouse or hub function needs to be designed efficiently and flexibly in regard to the order picking, shipping, automation level and inventory range processes. Moreover, smart combination and control are necessary for a variety of supply concepts/distribution methods, including third-party delivery, cross-docking fulfilment or single and double-stage warehouse fulfilment. Our toolset allows us to design these complex supply chains at benchmarkable cost and to assess them in a high level of detail.
