The Group depends on this solution to run its warehouse and business optimally \u2013 which is crucial in an increasingly competitive environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When stock is effectively stored and the supply chain runs efficiently, the cost per unit comes down, allowing retailers to be more competitive and grow their bottom line.
