SUPPLY CHAIN

Bed Bath & Beyond customers now have the option of picking up their online orders even before stores open.

As unpredictable world events highlight supply chain weaknesses, retailers and suppliers can leverage artificial intelligence technology to effectively respond.

COVID-19 has changed retail for good. As consumers adapted their lifestyles and spending habits to accommodate lockdown restrictions, e-commerce sales skyrocketed worldwide.

Walmart is applying artificial intelligence to the palletizing of products in its regional distribution centers.

National Co+op Grocers is opening a variety of digital services from grocery e-commerce platform Mercato to its members.

Supply chain disruption — including orders for store equipment and hardware — and filling open positions were major challenges for convenience stores in the second quarter, with no letup in sight.

A new survey indicates retailers that want to capture share of a growing e-commerce market should provide one key option.

Retailers are not responsible for the ongoing issues with the global supply chain, but they must act to mitigate them.
