  • Warehouses make up 24% of the total logistics’ costs, of which 48% is labour-related.
  • 63% of all operating costs in a typical warehouse can be attributed to order picking.
  • Many of the errors made in warehousing are made in the order picking functions.
  • Most warehouses that have been unable to drive down costs and improve their productivity have gone out of business or have consolidated with larger, more nimble service providers.
