Oct - Dec 2021Retail Business Review6EditorialTo Once upon a time, the fastest way to transport something from A to B was horse and cart. But today, the scenario has changed. In the same way that over the last 150 years the horse and cart were displaced by trains, cars, and planes, turning days and weeks of transporting time into hours, the string of developments in artificial intelligence gave wings to a host of different autonomous last mile delivery methods that optimize the supply chain realm. Retailers today go beyond the surface level to augment the delivery strategies and provide instantaneous customer support. From using GPS and RFID tags to track the movement of shipments in real-time to embedding IoT-enabled sensors in packages to monitor their temperature and humidity, smart technologies has enabled retailers to provide their customer base with the transparency and traceability they desire. Furthermore, supply chain leaders are eyeing to use robotic deliveries to cut down on labor costs and eliminate human-related errors. In the days to come supply chain managers are gearing up for more use of analytics and automated systems to control the colossal volumes of data generated through smart technology.
