  • As ecommerce brands scale, 3PLs are being asked to do more than move boxes, from real-time inventory orchestration to fast, frictionless fulfilment and returns. This panel unpacks what "intelligent fulfilment" really means in practice: the tech stacks powering fast-growing brands, why re-fulfilment (returns, resale, restocking) is now as strategically critical as the outbound leg, and what it means for 3PLs weighing whether to build, partner, or invest in that capability.

    Panelists:
    Maxime Huzar, CEO, SpaceFill  
    Tom Killeen, COO, THG Ingenuity
