Product Storage and Tracking

Storing and tracking products are critical steps in the order fulfillment process. Finished products are typically stored in warehouses or distribution centers before being shipped in large volumes for commercial customer orders or individually for end user orders. Products that move through the warehouse should be handled carefully to avoid injuries and maintain product quality.
