When the word “disruptive” is used, thoughts often come to mind that nothing good can come out of what is being described as disruptive. However, the term “disruptive innovation” is used to describe a new market and value network and how it disrupts an existing market with the potential to greatly improve. Warehouse management is currently undergoing disruptive innovations that have the potential to significantly change the industry for the better.
