The Warehouse of the Future: Optimizing for an “Each” World


According to a recent survey of distribution center (DC) operations professionals by Peerless Research Group (PRG), four out of five respondents were involved with channel fulfillment for either internal sales organizations or brick and mortar stores, but four in 10 also fulfill orders for their own e-commerce site.

And while operations continue to adjust to the omni-channel challenge, it should come as little surprise that the industry is still looking for ways to excel at fulfilling orders at the item or “each” level, a shift that’s created the need to fulfill large volumes of much smaller orders on a profitable and efficient basis.

Download this special report to read three stories that neatly define the challenges now facing warehouse and DC professionals and offer insight and tips that will help organizations rise up to meet the ever-increasing demands of omni-channel fulfillment.
