Le blog de la robotisation logistique à l'ère de la Supply Chain 4.0

Just like restaurants, shops have a side that’s hidden from the general public. As urban logistics evolve, more and more dark stores are appearing in city centres and shopping malls. But what really drives the dark store phenomenon? A delivery in under 15 minutes? The availability of derelict downtown real estate and its renovation in the service of the client?
