What's new?

Bricks-and-mortar: all change

At a recent Panasonic event, we brought together some industry experts for discuss how in-store technology innovation can transform the consumer experience and how shops can maximise their ROI from these new technologies. This blog shares a few key takeaways from the presentation given by Tim Gardner, Head of Creative Partnerships at Retail Week.

Smart-store technologies: the retail situation in Germany

The digital transformation of retail is in full swing: IoT, artificial intelligence and others are opening up completely new opportunities. But even if bits and bytes are rewriting the rules, physical (yet smart) shops still have a pivotal part to play. Omnichannel solutions are the name of the game. They are blurring the boundaries between in-store and online.

Against this background, Panasonic Business Europe teamed up with the Cologne-based EHI Retail Institute to produce a white paper for our In-store Insights series. The document, based on multiple EHI surveys/studies, takes a long, hard look at the digitisation of retail in Germany – what is happening now and what can we expect to see in the future.

The future of telematics and autonomous vehicles

The logistics industry has been leading the way for at least a decade with the implementation of telematics; using it to help plan faster delivery routes, save money on fuel and cut travel time. But the notion of autonomous vehicles and the likelihood of them being part of our fleets in the near future is extending our vision of what’s possible beyond simple data analytics. I’m often asked by customers what my view is on the future of our fleets – what’s realistic and what’s a pipedream. I think it’s all possible, but we do have to work together…

In this blog, you can find a part of that.

What’s your in-store digitisation strategy?

On Monday, Panasonic picked up an award at the Checkout National Supplier Retail Awards 2019 for ‘Retail Innovation of the year,’ in collaboration with Domus Projects. The accolade was in recognition of our work with Londis Convenience Stores at Dublin City University in Ireland, where we created an integrated retail solution. Which kind of technology helps this store? You can find the detail in this blog.

Micro hubs for macro impact

The 35th International Supply Chain Conference was held in Berlin on 17/18 October 2018. It is one of the largest events for the logistics industry anywhere in Germany, and I had the opportunity to attend. Over the course of two days, major logistics players and their suppliers and service providers came together to discuss the challenges they face, and possible solutions – some of which have already proven their viability in real-world settings.

One topic that garnered significant attention was last-mile delivery and the hurdles to be overcome during this phase – particularly in congested urban areas.

How logistics players are overcoming this situation? You can find that in this blog.

Micro hubs: big in Japan

Micro hubs are proving an attractive solution for congested urban environments. These small, at times temporary, distribution hubs are located within city limits. Delivery trucks deposit packages here that are then picked up by local couriers for last-mile delivery. This blog discusses how this ingenious solution is being leveraged in Japan in greater detail –the most challenging country in terms of the logistics environment. Read the blog to see how this country is building up the win-win relationship for all those involved.
