“The Future of the Supply Chain Is Connected—and Human”

The future of the supply chain is digital—but not digital at any cost. This presentation contextualizes the current challenges in retail within the framework of geopolitical influences, a shortage of skilled workers, and rising demands for availability and efficiency. Using concrete examples, the presentation demonstrates how connected systems, targeted automation, and an integrated IT landscape can create real added value. The focus is not on the technology itself, but on its contribution to the quality and performance of the supply chain. The human factor remains crucial: culture, skills, and collaboration are the foundation for sustainable success in an increasingly digitized world.
