Ron’s Report
The US, and the world are experiencing an unprecedented demand for warehousing space, largely due to the dramatic rise of e-commerce. In fact, our VP and my daughter, Shani Atapattu, wrote on this subject last year for Wholesale & Distribution Magazine. In an age where online shopping is the norm, companies are looking for warehouses to make it easy to deliver quickly and efficiently to customers. According to a new global study by Zebra Technologies, 75% of companies polled plan to have a warehouse management system by 2020 in order to be more effective in e-commerce and beyond.
As a 3PL, my team here at Overseas Cargo Inc. is no stranger to this world. We currently operate three warehouses throughout Miami-Dade County, where there is a growing demand, and are looking to increase this area of our business dramatically in 2017.
