What’s on my logistics tracker right now 🌍

Peak season, e-commerce trends, and delivery technology solutions! 

Hello, 

Right now in logistics we are in the busiest period in the lead-up to Christmas. You’re probably switching into survival mode to get through the holiday rush. 

The countdown to Christmas has begun - we are just 12 days away. 

In 2025, there’s going to be many technology changes in the logistics space. Earlier in the new year is the right time to reflect on your operations in the busy season. Then make the changes to make delivery even better. 

I’ve often said that ensuring a great customer experience is more important today than ever. We explore how your brand can make it—rather than break it. 

Happy delivering,

— Steve
