Managing the supply chain and moving products within refrigerated and frozen food warehouses continues to become more complex as the grocery market goes through unprecedented evolution. And, more is certainly on the horizon, as Amazon moves forward with ownership of Whole Foods.
This acquisition alone – never mind the recent innovations impacting the warehouse – is causing executives to shift focus and investments toward the layout, speed, flexibility and productivity of their distribution centers. Further, many refrigerated and frozen food processers are seeking solutions that will help them evolve their business to align with changing consumer interests and expectations.
