The corona crisis changes the market, the retail sector is under pressure. Lockdowns and related developments have a huge impact on the logistics of VIM’s customers.
In this hectic time, VIM’s customers are also having a hard time. From the purchase orders placed (already months ago) with suppliers, mostly in the Far East, the goods flow currently into the warehouses of VIM. Stores can no longer be supplied like before and warehouse stocks are increasing.
Where normally everything comes in, is received, picked and packed and then sent out again, this is this is quite different now. Due to the major shift from offline to online sales, the number of direct consumer orders have increased enormously and VIM ensures a fast delivery. The physical stores receive the goods doses now or not at all. This change requires a lot of coordination and extra work in the warehouse of VIM.
Despite the fact that the volumes of the outgoing flows of almost all VIM customers are increasing again, in both fashion and sports, the coming period will certainly remain hectic. VIM has enough capacity and supports its customers by offering flexible logistics solutions, storage, advice and e-fulfilment for e-commerce.
