According to a study by Intermec, outmoded and inefficient warehouse processes can amount to **at least 3,000 labor hours** annually, and mispicks cost businesses **$390,000 per year**. To reduce the cost of labor and mispicks, retailers need to optimize their operations by automating manual tasks that are most likely to cause error. [Shoppers today expect fast delivery](http://www.jazva.com/blog/walmart-fedex-fulfillment-vs-amazon), and if you fail to deliver the right products on time, because of fulfillment delays or stockouts, you will lose that customer and likely get a negative review. According to a recent UPS study, 55% of warehouse hours is spent on order picking. More than half of that time is spent on traveling within the site. In fact, pickers spend most of their time walking between locations, not picking products.
