The increasing e-commerce and fierce regional rivalry are driving the warehousing business in Hong Kong to become more automated and effective. However, due to its extremely strict standards for logistics services, e-commerce will also hold a significant influence on Hong Kong's logistics sector. Researchers found that the magnitude of warehouse logistics required by e-commerce is three times greater than that required by the conventional retail sector. Large and diverse consumer bases are served by e-commerce, which generates a range of consumer needs. To best serve end users whose e-commerce orders are unpredictable with extremely high variety and variability (combinations of items with different types, quantities, sizes, shapes, weights, storage requirements (such as refrigerated), etc.), it remains a great challenge to offer appropriate warehousing services for warehouse users (WUs) (manufacturers, third-party logistics service providers, wholesale retailers, importers, exporters, etc.).
