This growth in e-commerce has contributed to an upsurge in the number of warehouses and daily volume. But to stand out in a crowded market and keep pace with the likes of Amazon, warehouses nationwide are aggressively seeking ways to reduce delivery times and find efficiencies in the small shipment process.
