Today’s shift from retail support to individual order fulfillment will keep on creating new demands on transportation, logistics systems and warehouse and fulfillment center placement and configuration. In this Solutions Series program, Steve Schellenberg will discuss the implications of new electronic, mobile and social commerce on the retail, distribution and logistics industries.   This overview will provide you with the scale and speed of growth in these new commerce platforms and the implications to site selection, distribution strategies and warehouse configuration requirements.  In addition, you will gain insight into how storefronts and transactions between retailers and consumers are changing.  This program will also give an overview on how growth in the new electronic commerce platforms will continue to drive changes in the retail, distribution and logistics sectors across the entire global supply chain. 

This Solutions Series program gives an overview of "The New Borderless Marketplace: Repositioning Retail and Warehouse Properties for Tomorrow," which was done for the NAIOP Research Foundation.
