Artificial intelligence is beginning to influence not only how consumers shop but how orders enter fulfillment networks. New research from DHL suggests retailers and logistics
AI freight brokers are emerging as a real routing option, with new 1Q26 TD Cowen Carrier survey data showing many carriers willing to book loads
Costco is increasingly managing fuel, pricing, parking, depots, checkout, inventory, and delivery as parts of a single capacity system. The result is an operating model
Ulta Beauty is using AI, analytics and an automated regional DC to turn shrink and logistics productivity into the funding engine for its next phase
HP is treating AI-related component constraints as a business allocation challenge rather than a sourcing problem. As memory, storage, and AI-focused silicon become more expensive
Zara has consistently navigated economic downturns, supply chain disruptions, changing consumer preferences and geopolitical uncertainty better than most global apparel retailers for more than two
Vertical lift modules are gaining traction as warehouses look for ways to increase storage density, improve picking accuracy, and reduce labor strain without expanding facility
Freight fleets face a costly mix of weak demand, rising truck prices, and uneven clean transport rules. AI systems are helping carriers balance diesel efficiency,
NVIDIA is using $145 billion of supply commitments and a full-stack AI infrastructure model to rewire how capacity, risk, and allocation are managed under parabolic
