For the first time, in 2012 SITL EUROPE welcomes a new pavilion 100% dedicated to E-Commerce logistics and Cross-Channel distribution!

Whether Pure Players, mail order or click & mortar (retail, specialised distribution, traditional sales, industry), logistics has become the main challenge to the new generation of shippers.

•          Everyone is asking the same questions:

–         Outsource or develop your logistics in-house?
–         Where and how do you keep stocks and prepare orders?
–         How do you manage returns during peaks of activity?
–         How can you be competitive in logistics?
–         How do you organise international operations?
–         How do you deliver to client in B to C?
 

•         And above all… with whom?

–         Specialists in E-Commerce logistics
–         Express deliveries, urban deliveries, relay points, post, couriers
–         E-logisticians or infomediaries
–         Picking, automation and order preparation specialists.

A special focus will be on traditional distributors and manufacturers looking to implement  e-commerce as a new distribution channel. These click & mortars today only represent 5% of the 82, 000 merchant websites.  They will reach 20% in 2020, on exponential sales volumes. For them, the logical development is in cross-channel and the challenge, the fusion of e-commerce and traditional sales.

Supported by a cycle of plenary conferences, a workshop and demonstrations space together with an exhibition zone, E-commerce & Cross Channel Logistics by SITL is a complete answer to all these questions.
