New Warehousing Report Available

BOSTON—Of 150 companies surveyed in May, 97% plan to improve warehouse operations in the next 24 months, and 56% plan to improve operations over the next 12 months, according to a new report from Aberdeen Group.

The report examines how supply chain organizations are improving processes by implementing or upgrading warehouse management software and mobile technologies and reducing labor costs through increased agility.

“The pressure to effectively support fluctuating supply and demand without increasing staff or warehouse space is driving supply chain professionals to make the warehouse an agile and flexible part of their supply chain that can respond quickly to business changes,” according to Aberdeen.
