Whether it is a Ferrari vs. a Fiat or a Jet Engine vs. a Propeller, generally speaking, to move something quickly has a higher cost than to move it slowly. The ability to move fast at a lower cost is a challenge that has pervaded the supply chain industry for years.

This challenge has never been more applicable to retailers and brands than it is today. With online sales surging and customer expectations continually evolving, the ability to fulfill orders quickly, accurately, and at a lower cost is essential to an organization’s success.
