market was worth
$ 3.53bn

Fisher believes this collaborative approach to automation tech is the gold standard when it comes both to easing warehouse labour issues , and the pressing need for lightning quick last-mile logistics .
“ It is the ideal way to use these emerging technologies . It reduces repetitive tasks that are not the most effective use of people ’ s time .”
So , although last-mile logistics is an increasingly testing area for companies , they can at least draw upon ever-improving technology to help them meet these challenges .
