Overview
Consumers today have more choices and information than ever before. From online shopping to in- store promotions, technology has become tightly intertwined with the purchase of even the most basic household goods.

How do retailers react to a consumer base that is increasingly demanding? How do they craft offers that are relevant and meaningful, and that cut through the clutter and influence the buying decision? Most importantly, what are the implications for managing a global supply chain amid so much complexity?

We will explore those topics and more as we discuss the challenges of logistics for the retail industry and how technology can be used to help solve those challenges.
