Digital storage is becoming an absolute standard
Warehouse management processes underwent a metamorphosis proper overnight in 2020/2021. The Covid-19 pandemic, rising inflation, disruptions in the supply of components, changes in consumer habits and many other previously unpredictable events required a change in the mindset of supply chain managers.
Recent years have seen a rapid shift away from the paradigm of large, centrally-located distribution centers to smaller, local distribution centers that are highly automated and ready to handle smaller parcel volumes in an instant.
This change is motivated, among other things, by the rise of omni-channel commerce and other expectations of Consumers, for whom the most important thing has become price and instant availability of goods, rather than attachment to a particular brand. In such an environment, digital warehousing is becoming an absolute standard.

Optimal management of employees in the warehouse? Yes, it is possible!
The area of logistics and warehousing has gained strategic importance as one of the elements for creating competitive advantages. This change is accompanied by an equally dramatic shortage in the labor market caused by the changing demographic structure of developed countries’ societies. The imperative, therefore, becomes the need to efficiently operate on an increasingly scarce resource.

- Productivity management based on historical data and labor optimization models.
- Measuring labor efficiency, broken down into specific activities, against industry standards.
- Long-range planning based on data from demand planning tools, or from the WMS itself.
- Dynamic optimization of resource utilization against actual requirements.
