The logistics sector is currently undergoing many significant changes. Logistics companies are increasingly introducing automated warehouse solutions, alternative energy sources and infrastructure are becoming important in order to reduce their carbon footprint, and demand for fast deliveries is growing, encouraging logistics companies to build smaller warehouse centres closer to their customers.
