Seasonal Business 2025: How Retailers and Manufacturers are Rethinking Logistics

The end-of-year period is the busiest time of the year for many retailers and manufacturers. The increase in demand now starts much earlier. Events such as Black Friday, Cyber Week, and early orders shift peak loads to the fall and increase pressure on logistics. The effect is that customers expect fast, transparent, and consistent deliveries across all channels – whether to the store, the market place, or directly to their doorstep.

The key challenge is to reliably organize retail and end-customer deliveries from a single logistics structure. Retailers who serve both brick-and-mortar stores and online sales are confronted with different cycles and specific requirements for each sales channel. Fluctuations in personnel requirements, separate IT systems, and distributed warehouse locations make it difficult to respond quickly to short-term peaks and lead to inefficiencies.

Ensuring Efficient, High-Performance Multi-Channel Logistics

Modern multi-channel logistics offers various approaches to mastering these complex demands. Integrated IT systems, a central distribution center, and a systemically organized team efficiently manage retail and e-commerce. System disruptions and duplicate inventories are eliminated.

Typical approaches include:

  • Cross docking for bundled store deliveries
  • Parcel shipment via standard CEP service providers for end customers
  • Real-time inventory management across all sales channels
  • Automated cut-off control and shipping logic

  • Define the shipping logic and, where possible, map it across channels in an integrated system
  • Centralize inventory management to ensure availability across all sales channels
  • Test and expand your IT connections and interfaces early on together with your logistics partners
  • Plan personnel and shift assignments in a scalable manner so you can respond flexibly to peaks
