Digital tools enable a new business model

Consumer behavior is altering the retail landscape. Through the use of new digital tools, contract packagers can grow their services to help brands meet these new challenges.

How did we get to this point, where fulfillment is now center stage in the supply chain? The contract packager’s role as a predominantly labor-intensive service solutions provider has been evolving. New tools are now enabling them to expand their services beyond just labor. Equipment, software, location, and knowledge of how to create or assemble a package, including distribution, are all working together to create a new business model for contract packaging.
