There have been some key triggers in the last five years which have changed India’s supply chain and manufacturing sector. The rise and popularity of ecommerce in the country after internet data revolution, the growth of organised retail in major towns and cities, the implementation of GST which led to the consolidation of small warehouses, have all contributed.
These warehouses being the last touch point before the product reaches the customers, play a crucial role in the entire value chain of the business. So, companies must plan their inbound, outbound, storage and picking activities in their distribution centers (DC) to stay nimble yet capable to respond to black swan events such as corona virus.
