Under pressure to remain competitive and profitable in a struggling economy, warehouse managers are increasingly looking for ways to improve operations and increase efficiency. Specifically, warehouse managers today are challenged with these eight issues:
1. Need for cross-decking
2. A lack of warehouse space
3. High cost of qualified labor
4. Faster customer fulfillment
5. Meeting compliance mandates
6. Doing more individualized piece picking
7. Current management system struggling with increased orders
8. Current system cannot handle new product dimensions and/or weights
