With the growth of e-commerce, logistics centers in Israel are benefiting from technological advancements that are transforming the industry. Blue Square Real Estate is leading the trend, with a sophisticated network of centers that integrate advanced automation, AI, and machine learning
In recent years, logistics centers in Israel have undergone a significant renewal process. In the era of knowledge-intensive industries, traditional warehouses have made way for centers that integrate cutting-edge technologies such as automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence, reshaping the local logistics sector. In this way, the practice adapts to the needs of the e-commerce world, which is capturing a significant share of traditional retail.
The market that adapts to the customer
The digital era and the expansion of online activity into home shopping have changed the perception of retail in Israel. Alongside global trends, the COVID-19 pandemic certainly contributed to this shift, as it kept us all at home and forced us to purchase almost everything online – from food to winter clothing and toys for children. It seems that the trend arrived just in time for the local market, which has wisely adapted to the demands of the modern Israeli consumer.
Opening up to the future
In the past, storage and transportation relied on manual records and physical tracking. Today, computerized systems manage the supply chain in real-time. Instead of manual forklifts and static shelves, operational centers have become well-managed complexes, where from the moment the order is placed until the package is dispatched, real-time tracking occurs. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) enable smart movement, while artificial intelligence systems analyze demand data and optimal delivery routes, and IoT sensors provide precise tracking of operational and shipping conditions.
The Israeli model aligns with global trends in logistics, while adapting to local needs. While international giants like Amazon lead the sector with massive centers spanning hundreds of thousands of square meters, the Israeli market has developed a unique model that addresses the challenges of limited space. In Israel, which has positioned itself as a high-tech powerhouse, the logistics sector benefits from a unique approach, with the development of remote management solutions that enable operational agility. Blue Square Real Estate, one of the leading companies in the Israeli market, implements solutions tailored to the local reality, with an emphasis on optimal land use and strategic location.
Logistics in the 21st Century: The Operating Model of Blue Square Real Estate
Blue Square Real Estate is one of the oldest and most stable companies in the Israeli market, operating logistics centers across the country, such as the center in Kibbutz Ayal, covering an area of approximately 28,000 square meters, and the developed center in Be'er Tuvia. The logistics complex in Kibbutz Einat also enjoys full occupancy, thanks to the combination of a strategic location with advanced technological systems. With maximum transportation accessibility to the main traffic arteries, the company works to promote operational efficiency, which is proven through its performance.
The company explains that the backbone of its operations is based on the use of emerging technologies, such as WMS (Warehouse Management System) that automatically manages inventory movement, and automation systems like AS/RS, which enable efficient storage and picking. "Integrating technology into our operations allows us to shorten delivery times and manage inventory more intelligently, with minimal waste or human error," the company explains.
Increasing demand
Of course, to optimize operations, every company must adapt to technological changes. However, as explained by Blue Square Real Estate, the business opportunities and operational advantages justify the investment, with high demand and a loyal customer base. "It is important to understand that in the future, logistics centers that do not evolve with the times will have no purpose," the company explains. Indeed, data proves that the e-commerce era is set to reshape the logistics infrastructure of the future. Blue Square Real Estate is leading the change with advanced centers that serve the needs of the Israeli economy.
