Sustainable Supply Chain How Micro-Fulfillment Centers are Redefining the Supply Chain in Retail
Welcome to another exciting episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, where today we're diving into the world of retail automation with my special guest, Jonathan Morav, Head of Product Strategy at Fabric. In this conversation, we explore the challenges grocers face and how Fabric is revolutionizing the industry with their cutting-edge micro-fulfillment solutions.
In our discussion, Jonathan explains the complexities of the grocery industry, including the unique challenges they face, such as the range of items, perishability, and the need for effective inventory management. We also touch on the importance of understanding the pain points of grocers and how Fabric's approach combines innovative technology with real-world grocery experience.
We delve into the differences between the North American and European markets, and Jonathan shares his insights on key factors retailers should consider when deciding whether to adopt micro-fulfillment and automation technologies. Plus, we discuss the future of Fabric and their plans to further optimize grocers' operations through software solutions and robotic advancements.
Lastly, we explore the potential for achieving margin parity between in-store and digital sales, and the role of ecosystem solutions like autonomous vehicles in optimizing the last mile of delivery.
