'Especially in the vertical industries of retail and high-value goods, such as pharmaceutical, electronics and third party logistics, companies are adopting technology to better manage inventory both in the warehouse and in transit while protecting their operating margins. These companies are gaining supply chain security and visibility to give them a strong competitive edge.'
