Deliver anticipatory logistics through demand forecast

Anticipatory logistics are based on predictive algorithms running on big data. The practice allows logistics professionals to improve efficiency and quality by predicting demand before a consumer places an order. A cost-efficient and effective returns system is a key element in the value chain. Returns to scale are usually key to making this work economically.
