That rapid expansion of e-commerce, along with the emergence of multi-channel and omni-channel distribution systems, requires a different approach to warehouse management. Other factors such as the globalization of supply chain networks, the growing popularity of micro-fulfillment centers, and the rise of autonomous mobile robots along with increased demand for same-day and next-day delivery is pushing warehouse management in new directions.

Amazon also has had a profound effect on how warehousing is done. The company has been an early proponent of automation, which is pushing the industry to adopt similar techniques or fall behind. Amazon Robotics has automated the e-commerce giant's fulfillment centers with more than 100,000 autonomous mobile robots, according to ResearchandMarkets.com. That number is up by more than 300 percent since 2015.
