BIO Logistics: new facility inaugurated in Campogalliano

<h3>BIO Certification: a logistics solution that meets the challenges of the market</h3>Our proprietary logistics is the beating heart of an ever-evolving system, designed not only to meet market demands but, above all, to address the needs of our clients.The establishment of a dedicated area for storing organic goods is a deliberate step in line with the new consumption habits shaping both the national and global markets. The growing demand for organic products, combined with our commitment to ensuring the highest quality standards, has led us to create a specialized space capable of ensuring optimal storage and full compliance with the regulations outlined in Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No. 834/2007.<hr><h3>Our certified BIO logistics: the details</h3>In the Campogalliano logistics facility, featuring a racking system with over 500 pallet spaces spread across more than 500 m², the new area has been designed to ensure optimal storage conditions. The goal is to guarantee full compliance with industry regulations and preserve the integrity of organic products throughout the entire supply chain, from production to distribution.Currently, the space houses organic food from categories such as cereals and products from the wine and olive oil sectors, but it is capable of accommodating any type of dry food at ambient temperature."With BIO certification, a new opportunity opens for us to support producers and distributors in the organic sector. We are proud to be an integral part of this supply chain, offering logistics designed to preserve the authenticity of products and contribute to creating a reliable, high-quality compliant supply chain" says Simone Corradini, General Manager of T-Log.<h3><img src="https://d2mci1vigyc8gh.cloudfront.net/T_Data_filiera_bio_f91f3d4d6d.jpg" alt="Scatoloni contenente merce biologica pronta per essere stipata nei magazzini certificati BIO di T-Data"></h3><h3>The interest in organic products: 93% of Italians chose them in 2024</h3>When it comes to food products, people often think immediately of specialty stores or the aisles of large supermarkets. However, a recent YouGov study highlights how shopping habits are also changing in this context. The trend of shopping online, even for food &amp; beverage categories, was accelerated by the pandemic, and to this day, more than a quarter of Italians say they have used online purchasing systems for their food items.And what about organic products?According to a survey by Nomisma-AssoBio, in 2024 at least one organic product was purchased by 93% of the Italian population aged between 18 and 65 years, representing around 24 million households.As Emilio Sezzi, CEO of T-Data, explains: "The rise in demand for organic products has had a significant impact on sales channels. In addition to traditional physical stores, consumers are increasingly turning to online channels such as specialized e-shops and marketplaces, which cater to the new shopping habits.At T-Data, we already collaborate with several companies in the dry food sector, who have chosen us to manage their online sales. Thanks to this targeted logistics service, we are now able to offer our clients added value."

Valentine's Day 2025: from purchasing trends to customer care

Valentine's Day and E-commerce: Love at your fingertips

<h3>Valentine's Day gifts and online sales: a winning combination</h3>Valentine's Day is one of the most important events in the world of online shops. The increase in demand, in fact, represents both the desire and effort of people to find the perfect gift for their loved ones, and a great opportunity for those selling through e-commerce or marketplaces. Just consider that in February, online searches for the keyword "Valentine's Day" increase by 100 times compared to January, highlighting users' strong interest in finding gifts or inspiration.It's not just about gifts for partners: according to research by the <a target="" rel="" href="https://nrf.com/">National Retail Federation</a>, while 90% of purchases are for loved ones, a significant portion is also directed towards family, friends, and even pets. A clear sign that, regardless of the sector in which one operates, this occasion can be leveraged to boost online sales.<h3><img src="https://d2mci1vigyc8gh.cloudfront.net/T_Data_Trend_vendite_online_San_Valentino_dati_9dd9d091c9.jpg" alt="Un grafico di Google Trends che mostra l'andamento delle ricerche per la parola chiave 'San Valentino' negli ultimi 90 giorni"><img src="https://d2mci1vigyc8gh.cloudfront.net/T_Data_Trend_vendite_online_San_Valentino_368d1cab51.jpg" alt="Un grafico di Google Trends che mostra l'andamento delle ricerche per la parola chiave 'San Valentino' negli ultimi 90 giorni, evidenziando i picchi di interesse man mano che si avvicina la festa degli innamorati">Valentine's Day 2025: purchase trends of Italians</h3>A recent survey conducted by the Italian portal <a target="" rel="" href="https://www.idealo.it/">Idealo</a> highlights shifting search trends, moving away from traditional gifts like flowers and chocolates, and paving the way for more personalized presents linked to individual passions. Here are the product categories that have seen the biggest increases in searches:<ul><li>Board games (+66.5%): perfect for spending quality time with friends and partners</li><li>Acoustic guitars (+60.5%): a special gift for musicians and enthusiasts</li><li>Football shirts (+32%) and tennis rackets (+27%): sports remain central, even during a romantic holiday</li><li>Vinyl records (+27%): a vintage-inspired gift for music lovers</li><li>Massagers (+26%): for an extra dose of pampering</li><li>Funko figures (+22%): collectibles continue to capture the hearts of fans</li></ul><img src="https://d2mci1vigyc8gh.cloudfront.net/T_Data_Trend_vendite_online_San_Valentino_categorie_8b3648f24b.jpg" alt="Uno sfondo rosa con vinili, una maglietta da calcio e mani che tengono un regalo di San Valentino, simboli delle categorie più ricercate online come trend per la festa degli innamorati"><h3>The importance of structured logistics for a successful Valentine's Day</h3>Selling the most sought-after products online is not enough to guarantee a successful Valentine's Day sales strategy. Even with the perfect product, tailor-made for a wide range of buyers, if delivery and handling expectations are not met, the brand’s appeal will inevitably suffer.Inventory management and the availability of staff to handle sales peaks may seem like secondary aspects, but they are crucial elements for the success of the service. When it comes to returns and exchanges post-Valentine’s Day, the situation can become even more complicated. It’s not just important to manage the peak during the holiday, but also the subsequent phases. However, not all companies have the space or resources necessary to maintain flawless service. It is in these circumstances that a <a target="" rel="" href="https://www.t-data.it/en/news/logistics-outsourcing-meaning-benefits-and-how-to-do-it-effectively">strategic logistics outsourcing partner</a> can make all the difference, ensuring efficiency and customer satisfaction.<hr><h3>Valentine's Day with love: a customer service that makes customers feel special</h3>During the Valentine's Day period, customer service efficiency becomes a key element in managing the surge in requests. Offering timely, professional, and accessible support can transform an ordinary shopping experience into a positive opportunity for brand consolidation.Customer service efficiency is not just about handling problems; it is also crucial in gathering and responding to reviews. In a digital world where consumer feedback carries more weight than ever in purchase decisions, a negative review can leave a mark on the brand’s reputation. However, if managed properly, it can become an opportunity to improve it. Responding courteously, proactively, and constructively to criticism, perhaps by offering concrete solutions, demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement and customer care. In this way, negative reviews can become testimonials of professionalism and seriousness, helping to strengthen trust in the brand.<a target="" rel="" href="https://www.ecommercehub.it/">Source</a>

Logistics outsourcing: meaning, benefits, and how to do it effectively

<h3>Logistics: the beating heart of your business</h3>Behind the scenes of every successful company lies a harmony of processes, often invisible to customers. One of these is logistics management, a task that goes far beyond the simple storage of goods. Every shelf, every pallet hides a world of complex operations, from receiving goods to their shipment, including invoicing. All these activities require specific expertise and flawless organization.In an increasingly dynamic and competitive business environment, it is clear that efficient warehouse management becomes a critical factor for success.Managing logistics activities in-house, with operational challenges and space limitations, can be costly and take resources away from the core business. This is where the need to rely on specialized partners arises—through outsourcing, they optimize logistics activities and various stages of the supply chain, allowing companies to focus on the strategic aspects of their business.<hr><h3>What is logistics outsourcing and how does it work?</h3>When we talk about logistics outsourcing, we refer to a strategic process in which companies delegate the operational management of logistics functions, previously handled internally, to external suppliers. This model is increasingly gaining traction among Italian businesses, and with a projected turnover of 117.8 billion euros, it is proving to be a rapidly expanding solution. <a target="" rel="" href="https://www.osservatori.net/contract-logistics-gino-marchet/">Source</a>The activities entrusted to specialised partners range from operational management to technological support. In particular, outsourcing logistics services include:<ul><li>Warehouse and personnel management</li><li>Receiving and storing products</li><li>Preparing shipments and coordinating related transport</li><li>General order management, including returns</li><li>Domestic and international transportation</li></ul>In addition to these activities, third-party logistics providers often offer complementary services closely related to the logistics field, such as:<ul><li>Multilingual customer support</li><li>After-sales service</li><li>Various administrative tasks</li><li>Access to advanced technologies for warehouse management and real-time operation tracking</li></ul>The activities can be fully or partially outsourced, either short-term or long-term, depending on the contract with the provider and the company’s needs. Logistics outsourcing thus represents a scalable and adaptable service to various operational requirements.<h3><img src="https://d2mci1vigyc8gh.cloudfront.net/T_Data_Outsourcing_logistico_operatore_21238c16fc.jpg" alt="Operatore di magazzino, magazziniere che controlla e organizza l'operatività logistica del magazzino in outsourcing"></h3><h3>The 6 main benefits of an outsourced warehouse</h3>Logistics outsourcing offers a range of advantages that can accelerate a company’s growth, ensuring greater efficiency and flexibility. Let’s explore the main benefits:<ol><li>Flexibility: Outsourcing logistics allows businesses to quickly adapt to demand fluctuations, such as seasonality or sudden order peaks.</li><li>Cutting-edge technology without direct investment: Logistics outsourcing providers have advanced technologies that optimise supply chain management, without businesses needing to make direct investments in complex systems or constant updates.</li><li>Time and cost savings: Outsourcing logistics enables businesses to speed up operations and reduce costs, thanks to process optimisation and the use of modern technological solutions.</li><li>Ready-to-use infrastructure: Companies do not need to invest in expensive logistics infrastructure. Outsourcing provides access to warehouses, transport, and machinery that are already available, thus reducing investment risks.</li><li>Optimised storage space: With outsourcing, companies don't just have to worry about warehouse space but also hidden costs related to inventory management, staff, and machinery.</li><li>Focus on core business: By delegating logistics management to an external partner, businesses can focus on their strategic activities, such as marketing, sales, and customer relationship management, improving overall efficiency.</li></ol><hr><h3>Outsourcing logistics: the profile of the right partner</h3>As we’ve seen, logistics outsourcing is a strategically advantageous choice for many businesses. However, to turn this choice into a real success, it’s essential to select the right partner. Here are some key criteria to consider:<ul><li>Industry references and financial stability: The reputation of the logistics partner is crucial, as is their financial stability, which ensures they can support long-term projects without compromising service quality.</li><li>Geographic coverage and distribution network: The strategic location of warehouses affects shipping costs and delivery times. A partner with a well-positioned network can optimise the supply chain and improve operational efficiency.</li><li>IT systems and integration capabilities: A partner that uses advanced solutions for automating logistics processes, such as storage and order management, will help improve efficiency and reduce error margins.</li><li>Types of logistics services offered: A good partner provides a comprehensive range of services, from warehouse management to reverse logistics, including transportation and order and claims management.</li><li>No lock-in constraints: The absence of long-term binding contracts allows clients to easily adapt to emerging needs over time, without facing penalties or restrictions, making the business relationship more dynamic and cost-effective. <a target="" rel="" href="https://www.t-data.it/en/news/lock-in-how-to-identify-and-overcome-it-successfully">To learn more&gt;</a></li></ul><img src="https://d2mci1vigyc8gh.cloudfront.net/T_Data_Outsourcing_logistico_286b5a0cfd.jpg" alt="Scatoloni posti al di sopra di una tastiera di un pc che rappresentano lo shopping online">T-Data represents the perfect choice for those seeking a high-level logistics partner.
