With a firm foot in the basics of logistics and supply chain management, and another teetering uneasily over the ever-looming spectre of big data analytics, I decide to take a plunge into the field overlapping these two, that I may for a moment abate approaching that damnably complex subject.
This book is a very reader-friendly tome on the subject of integrating data analytics and automated systems in the management of consumer orders, picking, warehousing and all manner of thing in between. Much more time than one would expect, however, merely explains the various services offered by internationally recognised companies.
As such, it reads almost like an issue of consumers' digest, but provides in no uncertain terms the necessary information even a prematurely fossilised stout such as myself can easily digest. Yes, the book explains how one can graft onto the business an incredibly useful appendage, but it is nonetheless one owned by the Alphabet Group megamonopoly.
By that I mean the book gives you a fish instead of teaching you how - which is good for a start, but it is clear that the writer could do one better and explain the underlying mechanisms - such is his know-how. Certainly a worthwhile read.
