About the logistics tour

To promote best practices related to e-commerce logistics, the Retail Council of Quebec, eLog (e-commerce logistics support service powered by PME MTL Centre-Ouest), and ASCM (Association for Supply Chain Management) – Montreal chapter, are offering retail businesses the chance to visit logistics sites belonging to medium and large companies in the retail and logistics sectors.

This will be a unique opportunity to discover behind-the-scenes operations, discuss, and exchange insights on best practices.
