TRANSPORTATION

摘要

As the number of sales channels continues to increase, so does the complexity of transportation management. The standard apparel retail distribution model-in which garments come inbound to a distribution center and are delivered to local stores via ground transport in a reasonably fixed fashion and timeframe-is no longer a given. As such, the need for apparel retailers to profitably optimize their transportation network has never been greater, says Fabrizio Brasca, vice president of global logistics at JDA, a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based supply chain software provider.
