Distribution centers face more challenges
today than ever before. E-commerce and
urbanization are an extra added pressure
for rapid delivery in small batches, while
demands on traditional warehouses are
constantly changing. Seasonal peaks like
Christmas, Black Friday and Cyber Monday
are pushing distribution centers to their
limits.
In order to keep ahead of competition, it is
essential that companies utilize a
data-driven software solution that allows
them to keep up with trends like
personalization, q-commerce (quick
commerce), fast delivery, warehouse
optimization and having the right product
at the right place at the right time.
