Running a productive warehouse or distribution center (DC) has always required a carefully thought-out approach that factors in the people, systems, product and physical space. These elements have to work together to achieve three core goals: receive product, store goods and get orders shipped out the door. Over the last few years, the persistent labor shortage, growth of e-commerce and ongoing supply chain constraints have presented new challenges for most warehouse operators-more than half of which rely on warehouse management systems (WMS) for help navigating these complexities. According to Peerless Research Group's recent "Materials Handling Technology Study," 56% of companies are currently using WMS in their operations. And the 32% of companies that are either evaluating, purchasing or upgrading software in the next 24 months will be investing in WMS to help manage their warehouses or DC operations inventory and operations. However, as 2023 dawned, Siddharth Ram says that some companies began "tightening their belts" in response to potential economic headwinds. |
