Talk by Gary Rosier - Taylor from Descartes

Our urban spaces are living organisms, constantly adapting to the needs of their communities, industries and the environment. The Covid-related e-commerce boom has shifted consumer expectations to a point that is changing the landscape and infrastructure of our towns and cities. But the convenience of delivery comes at a price – for businesses and the planet. Last mile sustainability is vital, but to remain resilient and relevant, businesses also need to examine all logistics systems and networks. Rhyce Dawson, Associate Director at TMX Transform, identifies ways that you can use data and automation to create an efficient, greener urban logistics strategy.
