The COVID-19 pandemic's greatest immediate commercial impact was consumers' migration to online purchasing, which sparked a rise in demand for eCommerce warehouse and distribution services. In addition to dealing with their own labor shortage, supply chain problems, and transportation issues, warehouses were also trying to keep up with increased demand, which presented a number of continuous hurdles. Flexibility is crucial for warehouses to thrive in a rapidly shifting and unpredictable environment. How COVID-19 Impacted the Warehouse Automation Industry in the US?
