E-commerce pressures are driving retailers, wholesalers and third-party logistics providers to accelerate their evolution to more digital, automated business operations and fulfillment processes.
Throughout our industry, technologies like robotics, automation, data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence are no longer part of some faraway future, but the very tools companies are starting to integrate into their daily business practices.
Not only is this evolution helping these companies deliver consistently exceptional customer experiences, it’s also introducing solutions to traditional challenges while ushering in a new era of process efficiencies.

Regardless of where you sit on this continuum, you’re probably seeking guidance on how to take the next steps on your journey.
To help you achieve your business goals, we’re excited to launch our publication, “On the Move.” This periodical is an extension of our industry stewardship platform and is focused on providing insights about the most relevant trends, tools and topics affecting our industry.
Our inaugural issue will address the process of digital transformation by highlighting some of the technologies DC operators are leveraging on their journeys. Among the list of topics, you’ll find:
We hope these topics and this new resource will help you explore the tools and technologies within your reach. At Honeywell Intelligrated, we’re committed to helping our customers make the digital transformation, and we sincerely hope you enjoy our first On The Move publication.
