Logistics - just a necessary evil in retail? Many online retailers underestimate the success factor of well-functioning logistics in their own company. It is therefore all the more important to optimize this potential for success with best practice processes. On 6 July, industry experts from the online retail sector gathered at this year's Logistics E-Commerce Camp in Bremen and provided important input on process optimization in a total of 20 presentations and intensive workshops on three stages. Among them was the fynax team of experts led by fynax manager Saravanan Sundaram and customs expert Markus Bitzer.

This year, however, the fynax team decided to draw on the expertise of former tax advisor Dr. Dr. Dr. Huber as part of the expert lecture on "Online trade & customs - everything you need to know about the cross-border movement of goods".
