Happy New Year!
Looking back on 2014, I’ve put together the top 10 most popular logistics & supply chain stories of last year and it seems as though technology and retail e-commerce have been the most popular topics for eft readers. In a similar theme, eft staff have put together their experiences of e-commerce over the holiday period, some surprises in here!
eft has also put together an infographic exploring 3D Printing, Drones, the Internet of Things, Driverless Vehicles and Augmented Reality. One interesting statistic that came out is that 94% of industry executives think drone delivery is inevitable. What are your thoughts on this phenomenon?
Lastly, take some time to contribute to our annual global Chief Supply Chain Officer survey - which looks at the changing face of supply chain in 2015 and beyond.
Wishing you all the best for the new year,
