"We have a long way before being out of ideas to improve cost and speed." Amazon CEO Andy Jassy This GIF usually gets some laughs. Amazon burning billions on fast delivery is funny. At least some thought it was in 2022. When Amazon's results were down. Delivery speed suffered. They made cuts to right size their network. Then they moved to a regional fulfillment model. And delivery speed was faster than ever in 2023. More efficiently, while driving revenue. Imagine that, logistics as a competitive advantage. #ecommerce #logistics #retailing

Amazon, Target, or Walmart: Who will win the #ShippingWar? In this latest revolution in last-mile #logistics, major retailers are competing to meet the increasing demands of customers for quicker and more accurate deliveries. Winning this challenge requires substantial investments in capital, cutting-edge technology, and an overhaul of existing processes. As retail logistics shift towards decentralization, the ability to make accurate predictions using artificial intelligence will be crucial for success. The second video in the "Shipping Wars" series, produced by The Wall Street Journal, delves deeply into Target’s strategy for fast delivery. From my perspective, this strategy does not appear to be a winning one. Why? Target is not investing significantly in technology, precision, and speed, and it has not effectively differentiated its traditional retail operations from its highly competitive and fast-paced e-commerce operations.

This is why I'm challenging the heads of two of the biggest #3PLs in our space to a debate.
