As the next two weeks are the busiest weeks of the shipping year, warehouses are not ready for the holiday. According to UNEX after last year's fiasco by some retailers not being able to meet holiday delivery schedules, companies are adding technology and streamlining processes to ensure this does not happen again. Another hectic holiday shopping season arrived. Some simple solutions like Pick-to-light of the fast moving consumer goods can make all the difference, even now, just weeks before gifts are unwrapped.
It is imperative that operations with state-of-the-art processes are in place to keep up with orders and ensure customers get what they want.
