The turn of the year 2022 and 2023 brought a lot of good news, which we will show off soon. The industry is experiencing new opportunities, both in terms of new technologies and new partnerships, and... new clients s well.
There was also a lot going on in the Linker Cloud Fulfillment Network, and the plans for the next few months are even more ambitious. Read the text to find out for yourself!
The first quarter of 2023 was right for all Linker Cloud Ecommerce Fulfillment experts.

To this should be added the crisis that has been present in the market for some time now due to pandemics, inflation, and the war in Ukraine.
This makes it all the more important to support each other and share logistical knowledge on warehousing, shipping, or business relationships topics. This is also the path followed by our ecommerce fulfillment professionals, who over the past three months have been writing articles about business management for polish press outlets such as:
