What advantages does integrating Actindo with your software offer for optimizing omnichannel strategies?
Integrating Actindo with our software provides a one-stop-shopping for multi-carrier integration. This enables brands, retailers, and manufacturers to switch seamlessly between courier, express, and parcel, less-than-truckload (LTL), and full truckload (FTL) carriers. This integration offers full control and transparency over transport costs and carrier invoices, streamlining the logistics process and enhancing efficiency."
What are the significant e-commerce trends currently influencing logistics and consulting?
Sustainability is a growing concern among consumers, who are increasingly seeking to reduce their CO2 footprint without sacrificing convenience or quality. Carriers are responding to this demand, and we've incorporated a CO2 prediction feature into our algorithm to identify the most suitable carrier for each customer, balancing efficiency and environmental impact.
Can you highlight a recent industry development that has captured your attention?
The entrance of new carriers in the German market with a PostBox-first delivery approach is particularly intriguing. This model has seen success in other European countries, and we're excited to support these carriers on our platform, offering more choices and flexibility for our users.
How do you see the future of composable commerce evolving in the next years, and how can retailers prepare for it?
Composable commerce is set to revolutionize retail in the next few years by providing increased agility, hyper-personalization, seamless omnichannel experiences, and enhanced ecosystem collaboration. Retailers can stay ahead by embracing modularity, investing in robust data and analytics, fostering collaboration, and always putting the customer experience first.
