If you’re in the food and beverage industry, the future is looking pretty bright right about now. Sales are higher than ever before thanks to the recent rise in e-commerce, a heightened preference for convenience and rapidly advancing automation technology.
The industry isn’t showing signs of slowing anytime soon. In fact, grocery sales are expected to grow by 21% to $3.4 trillion within the next three years. But, this growth comes with a slew of challenges for companies to keep up with demand. Though there's a potential for profits to soar, companies will have to reassess their fulfillment processes and appropriately scale for growth.
