摘要

Making the most of automation requires strategic thinking, says Simon Parker, head of logistics at Office Depot UK. The pressure on business solutions providers to turn around customer orders as quickly and efficiently as possible has never been greater. Driving this is the need to fit around busy and fast-moving lifestyles, which has in turn had a direct impact on the speed at which goods have to be conveyed. Also, many business solutions providers have significantly increased the range of products they sell, meaning that a single order can be more complex in terms of collating individual items.
