Retail Week Supply Chain Supplement

The LCP Omni-channel report, in an industry snapshot, reveals retailers slower than predicted to transition to omni-channel. 

Retail businesses with omni-channel capabilities are twice as likely to report double-digit growth

31% of retailers claim they have fully moved to omni-channel

As more and more customers expect fast delivery, Retail's Week's Supply Chain Supplement focusses on multi-channel fulfilment. Stuart Higgins comments on how Amazon and Argos are dealing with their super fast delivery to the market.

"Argos is the only national same-day offer in the market and this is feasible because it is able to use stores as fulfilment centres"

In another article Emile Naus comments on the UK's  infrastructure and how it is set for huge changes with superports, Crossrail  and HS2.

"A model is emerging  whereby having two or three distribution centres close to ports, picking up good rail points and potentially regional airports, is much more efficient"
