Description
In this episode, guest Gillan Hawkes, VP of product management and analytics at 6 River Systems, discusses how autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) help distributors meet surging demand, while offering other benefits during the pandemic and beyond.

And we look at how retailers are relying on marketplaces to handle their online sales due to a lack of their own e-commerce capabilities. Is this a sustainable model for these retailers?
