Logistics conference

Ecommerce Supply chain needs to be agile & efficient and particularly, for a horizontal marketplace it becomes even more complex while managing a variety of categories (mobile, home appliances, books, jewellery, grocery, furniture), seller & customer segments. I would want to talk about the nature of complexity in managing a fulfillment network for a large ecommerce platform managing a variety of products/customer demands. The thought process employed in navigating the problem statement and close loop with one usecase.
