    Expensive isn’t really an issue though is it?

    If I can guarantee you quadruple your revenue by doubling your expense, you’d take the deal no? That’s basically what these things do.

      To be a bit more precise, is it about throughput or lead time? Because for throughput I imagine you can just have more workers, but for quicker shipping you need to do pick and pack in less time, rather than do a lot of them in a given time.

        Throughput primarily, the bottleneck is still shipping. These systems do allow for picking/packing faster as well but from a logistics standpoint if you want more output you just need more trucks.

          How does it help in getting more revenue then? Demand wouldn’t change, right?
