BackgroundThe soaring growth of direct retailing, internet shopping and e-commerce as a whole has propelled many newcomers into the world of fulfilment and logistics. Often these may be people with little experience of supply-chain issues, or the folklore that may seem to surround them. To help everyone in this burgeoning market to grapple with some of the finer points of the business, IMRG has put together a wide-ranging glossary of some of the terms they might encounter on their journey.
Hard copiesPrinted copies of this glossary are available to members directly from IMRG (see contact details, right). Non-members may enquire about prices and terms. |
