Retail is Dynamic,
Diverse & Demanding
The retail industry is dynamic, diverse, and demanding as it adapts to ever-changing
customer expectations and operational pressures.
Regulations
With recent talk about ending ‘Low Value Import Schemes’ and ‘Tariff-Free’ thresholds, retailers must be constantly ready to stay compliant ahead of global changes.
Border Delays
Similarly, with tighter customs checks on low-value goods brings a growing concern in EU member states about how to enforce these checks efficiently given the volume — with 4.6 billion small parcels (under €150) reported in 2024.
Visibility
Relying on multiple carriers and freight forwarders lacks a unified tracking view. When a produce shipment is held for inspection, retailers maybe learn hours later, making it difficult to reroute stock or manage shelf availability.
Sustainability
Likewise, relying on multiple carriers and freight forwarders to gather, store and protect all your data is risky. With new mechanisms coming into play in 2026, such as CBAM, retailers will be held accountable for sourcing data from across the world.
