Trade

Digitalisation and the internet have disruptively changed retail and wholesale trading in a very short time. Changes in supply chains, e-commerce, e-targeting, multi-channel platforms and artificial intelligence have relentlessly gained importance and have been used to optimize pricing, sales and warehousing.

Mastering trading challenges
