Multi channel

Regionalisation

As one of the largest markets in Europe, the growth in the Polish retail sector is an opportunity, but also a challenge to ensure that the supply chain can evolve without compromising on quality, cost and sustainability targets.

Disruptions

Exceptional market conditions, energy crisis and a continuous focus on our planetary impact is increasing the need for resilience and agility. It has never before been so important to be flexible to adjust at high speed.

Market trend: Supply chains that in the past has prioritised low cost and “lean” operations has shown a higher risk of failing under adverse events. Today, companies often “procure” resilience over efficiency.
