Introduction
In Latin America, e-commerce is still in the beginning of its growth phase, offering ample opportunity for online sellers to get a slice of the pie. As e-commerce activity grows, the need for warehousing is also rising. Of the Latin American countries, Brazil is currently the most prominent in the warehousing market. As global e-tailers expand into Latin America, they aim to replicate the efficiency and functionality of their flagship locations. This means procuring the right equipment and furniture to fully customize their warehouses.
The Client
A global e-tailer approached ProcurementIQ for help identifying suppliers of industrial shelves in Latin America. While the client had an incumbent in Brazil, they were looking for additional vendors to source from. Being headquartered in the United States, the industrial furniture market in Brazil was not well-understood by this e-tailer. That’s why they called on ProcurementIQ to help.
