Technology is reshaping supply chains, and the warehousing segment is no different. Operational challenges are plenty, with the tight labor market and an even-tighter availability in commercial real estate pushing management to look inwards at improving efficiency within their existing infrastructure and processes. Being the lynchpin between the mid-mile and the last-mile operations, warehousing is witnessing a significant shift towards automation and smart technology integration.
