Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the eighth issue of the magazine and its materials.
3PL-provider is successfully implementing a major project with French retailer Auchan Holding
In 2016, the companies have completed the star-up of e-commerce activity, which was starting end of 2015. At present, FM Logistic operates a warehouse of 7,000 sq. m performing goods reception, handling, picking and loading of orders. The work is ongoing for almost all products from the retailer’s commodities range, excluding food (from children’s toys to furniture- 13,000 articles in total). In 2016, it is planned to expand the list of handled goods by adding pet food and tableware.
At the moment, there are 220 orders per day, to be increased up to 400 orders in perspective.
“E-commerce is one of the markets showing the fastest growth. Therefore, it is very important to be prompt and adaptive to offer optimized and competitive logistics solutions FM Logistic is already running several major e-commerce projects, and the cooperation with Auchan Holding implies the next step towards strengthening our positions in this sector”, says Christophe Menivard, General director at FM Logistic in Russia.
