Fully-automated warehouses remain a pipe dream for many e-tailors, many are now using software, automation, and sensors to get closer to their customers. The warehouse is the place to store finished goods that moved in and out on pallets. Corporate considered them a necessary evil and a cost center. Today, warehouses are promise keepers to provide customers with the warehousing facilities: Their job is to enable a company’s go-to-market strategy and make good time on the promises made by the marketing and sales departments. Order turnaround- the time it takes to pick and pack order so it is ready for pickup by a delivery company before the cutoff-time is measured in hours rather than days.
An example: One industrial distributor promises to have your order an outbound truck the same day you order it, or they will cut you a check. They can’t make good on that promise without a distribution center designed around fulfilling that promise. That’s an entirely different problem than figuring out how to store more pallets in existing spaces. In the future, expect to see more, smaller facilities located near major urban areas as e-tailors try to get closer to their customers for same-day delivery.
