Customer demand for two-day shipping is forcing retailers and warehouse managers to evolve, according to a study released Tuesday by Lincolnshire-based Zebra Technologies.
The Zebra 2020 Warehouse Vision Study looks at how warehouses could change in the coming years. It showed a trend away from massive distribution centers toward more, smaller warehouses closer to the end consumer, according to the 2015 survey of nearly 1,400 people who run warehouses around the world.
