Ciprian Sîrbu has over 10 years of experience in logistics, e-commerce and industrial supply chain, completed by 7 years in which he worked in the IT field. Ciprian's role in JLL is to provide advice to customers in streamlining the supply chain as the need for such services increases.
Even though physical stores have reopened in most cases, the continued growth of e-commerce puts supply chain management in the spotlight and accelerates the need for logistics space globally, and as we have seen in recent years, locally. This need comes in parallel with increased competition for the efficiency and professional management of the supply chain.
"Before 2020, we were talking about a classic supply chain model, completed with specific requirements to accommodate online sales channels in logistics structures. Retailers, as well as their suppliers, focused their resources on optimizing processes and flows, but kept the way they had worked for the past 10 years.
Since 2020, social distancing has generated a current of change worldwide. With the accelerated growth of the online segment, the development of marketplace sales platforms, product and service aggregators, but also last mile delivery solutions, the need to simplify, digitize and shorten the supply chain becomes a strategic issue. I believe that it is time to take advantage of the worldwide attention paid to the supply chain segment and that we can turn today's challenges into development opportunities for the future ", said Ciprian Sîrbu, JLL Romania Supply Chain Services.
The link between supply chains and the real estate segment is now more important than ever. The growth of online commerce has led to lower sales in physical stores and put pressure on global supply chain networks.
It also highlighted the need for strong logistics services and supply chain networks for key global sectors.
"We are delighted with Ciprian's decision to join JLL's industrial team and believe that his experience in logistics and supply chain will complement real estate services with an additional component that will increase the added value of the projects we work on", said Costin Banica, head of Industrial Department JLL Romania.
