Businesses are scrambling to identify opportunities to increase supply across their distribution networks. Many are seeking support from automation systems integrators (conveyor, robotics, software, controls) across several fulfillment sites at once. While multi-site implementations can be challenging, when executed successfully they can achieve greater results than single-site implementations.

Microfulfillment Part 1: What is Microfulfillment?
Matt Greene
July 22, 2020
Without a doubt, microfulfillment is one of the hottest trends in supply chain.
