The beginnings of many entrepreneurs are connected by the desire to bring or convey their products to customers. This is all the better if the product is useful and the entrepreneur can sell it any day of the week.
Over time, however, his orders grow, warehouses become overpacked, the need to sell to other countries and to find transport solutions increases, and instead of improving his offer, he spends a lot of time unnecessarily in the warehouse. He can’t keep up with logistics, for which he has to acquire new premises, employees, and technology, which also slows down the growth rate of his business.

Imagine that you run an e-shop with regular growth in order volumes or want to expand into the international market. In both cases, storage, technical or transport options need to be strengthened.

Therefore, there are several fulfillment centers on the market, which offer options to solve logistics delays.

Ecological solutions in logistics are an increasing necessity in the interests of environmental sustainability. In the last two years alone, the number of e-commerce customers has increased rapidly, and the continuation of this trend is predicted to continue in the future.
However, according to a European study, up to four times more emissions can be generated with online shopping compared to the traditional alternative. This, sooner or later, will take a toll on the environment, which the e-commerce sellers themselves are aware of.

With the end of the season comes the prospects for the next one and these are often associated with trends that shape logistics not only in the field of e-commerce, but completely. Recent years have shown us how fast logistics can change.
Last season, however, new trends gradually began to take shape, which will be more significant this year. The e-commerce customers themselves have started to change their shopping customs, which is also related to their needs.

Taking these trends into account, we at Fulfillment by FHB Group have identified the main ones, which we believe will be the main driver of e-commerce logistics in 2022.
