Due to pandemic people are buying more online and less in-store. Starting a few months back, this was already a well-established trend that has been developing from long before the World had heard of Pandemic.
Zebra Technologies authorised a Global research to identify and understand the trends and challenges affecting warehouse operations.
The research asked the Industrial operational decision makers at each responding company their current and planned strategies for adding technology into their warehouses, distribution centres and fulfilment centres.
