At the same time what is still not a virtual online reality but an offline reality is the physical delivery of these items - more and more items need to be delivered to customers in ever shorter deadlines and in an increasingly diverse customer-friendly way. As a result not only the international logistics of shipments is becoming increasingly important but also convenient and local solutions for the delivery of shipments adapting to the new customer agenda.
