With the advent of always-on e-commerce, the demand for faster responses, and the ability to manage larger number of SKUs with fewer errors, warehouses need to upscale and be at par with the standard of an intelligent, efficient, and automated warehouse. Looking at the next 2 to 10 years, a predicted surge in the preference for digital transformation will bring fundamental changes to the way warehouses operate, thus taking the adoption of disruptive warehouse digitalization to its apex.

Supply chains are messy. Blockchain in Supply Chain Can Help. A manufacturer in China doesn’t read the specs on an order. A supplier in Mexico mixes up two similar parts. An ecommerce fulfillment warehouse in the USA sends the wrong packages to customers. On top of all that, billions if not trillions of dollars worth of potential working capital are tied up in illiquid assets such as 90-day invoice payouts or even the real estate value of, say, a warehouse or factory building.

As the truck capacity pinch grows tighter and tighter, you may have found yourself in a role reversal with your carriers.
