Time is a valuable commodity for busy beverage warehouses with an ever-increasing number of SKUs. These warehouse operators cannot afford to waste precious time locating and tracking inventory — especially because 64 percent of U.S. warehouses are more than 25,000 square feet, according to Dallas-based Cisco Eagle.
With more than 3 billion square feet of warehousing space added between 2000 and 2012, beverage distributors are pressed to be more efficient with placement, power, access, layout and other factors, including technology, Cisco Eagle notes.
