Retail Logistics
Strategic retail logistics services and solutions
Retail logistics is the management of the transportation, storage, and distribution of products with the goal of ensuring that they are available to consumers when and where they are needed. Managing retail logistics requires the planning, implementation, and control of the flow of goods from manufacturers and suppliers through retail channels to end consumers.
Today’s retailers often operate in an omni-channel world, which requires coordinating logistics activities across brick-and-mortar stores, online and via mobile. Each channel presents unique challenges. Sheer Logistics supports our retail industry customers with the services and solutions they need to compete in a complex global marketplace:
