The logistics market is projected to hit $12,975.64 billion by 2027, registering a 6.5% growth rate from 2020 – and it’s no surprise why.

For many years I have thought about buying a drone. With so many shows available showing aerial video of beautiful places around the world it, having a drone would enable me to realize that same experience on my own.

As such we decided to discuss many of the different uses that people have found to leverage drone technology.

In my experience companies always had a need for Inventory Control and an annual inventory count during which all operations were shut down for at least 2-3 days. Even then there would a period during which records were being reconciled before operations could resume normal function.
On top of the annual inventory count there were ongoing manual cycle counts throughout the entire year. Dozens of people and departments were involved in this necessary, but extremely expensive, inventory controls requirement.
