The vacations are over, children have returned to school and adults to work in offices, warehouses or factories.
The last quarter of the year is approaching, which is traditionally a time of hard work to close projects that have been started.

Companies operating in today’s market can choose between two models of running a warehouse: investing in an in-house warehouse or handing over all logistics tasks to a specialized 3PL logistics operator.
In both cases, the important thing is the result, i.e. the fact of delivering the right goods, to the right place at the right time.
A competitive market, dynamically changing customer demands and the need to precisely control costs are just some of the aspects that today’s business faces.
To meet these challenges, the digitization of the enterprise comes to the rescue, by modernizing internal processes.
In this blog post, we will briefly introduce the fruit of our many years of work – the integrated supply chain and manufacturing process management platform Digit.IO.

The market for warehouse management information systems is on a rapid growth path. Analysis published a few weeks ago predicts that the market will more than double globally over the next five years (2024-2029). The geographic drivers of growth will be the Asian, American and European markets. Where does this optimism come from? It is mainly due to the dynamic market situation, changes in business approaches, as well as other factors, which we will talk about in this article.
Self-adhesive labels are a great information carrier. Using them fosters interest in a particular product and informs people about how to use it (highlighting safety issues, for example). It is a great art to design a self-adhesive label in such a way that it simultaneously exposes the qualities of the product and informs about its characteristics. Another element related to the use of labels is also extremely important. Namely, it is about the way they are applied and the associated method of delivery of the label. This is because it does not have to take a purely “rollover” form.
In hospitals, clinics, pharmacies or laboratories, proper labeling is of considerable importance for the health and even life of patients. Samples, ampoules and other drugs must be clearly attributed to a specific person. Medical equipment must be properly described and the patient himself identified in accordance with data protection regulations.
In an era of tremendous competition, manufacturers distinguish themselves not only by the quality and reputation of the liquor they offer. An original and aesthetically pleasing label is also becoming extremely important to help their products get noticed on the shelf, as well as contribute to branding.
Cooperation between the logistics department and the company providing courier services is growing into a key aspect in the area of order fulfillment these days.
