Technovation Corner: #12 November

Hi all,

A couple of weeks ago, I returned from the Reuters Event Supply Chain Execution Conference 2022 in Brussels, where Addepto was a Gold Sponsor.

Over 300 executives from the logistics sector, including inbound logistics, transportation, warehouse operations, and last-mile operations, united to share their experience and learn about best-of-breed business strategies.

Seeing so many professionals discussing tech innovations and pioneer solutions for the supply chain industry was amazing, and I couldn't help myself from collecting some of the insights here.

Thus, in this Technovation Corner, you will find news from the supply chain industry and insights on technologically advanced solutions.
