A warehouse where processes are still managed through paper documents risks being more subject to delays and problems: this translates into a less efficient logistics department, where the operational flow slows down, negatively affecting both company turnover and customer satisfaction.
To optimize processes and ensure effective performance, the solution is to automate logistics. Through the implementation of automated warehouses, it is possible not only to improve the management of the logistics department, but also the growth of the entire company.
Some of the areas positively influenced by automation are:
