Macy’s Opens New Data-Powered Distribution Center
Macy’s has opened a new 675,000-square-foot distribution center in Columbus, Ohio that will utilize Google Cloud data warehousing and analytics solutions to streamline retail operational functions.
Macy’s will use Google Cloud to help ensure that its merchandise is accurately and efficiently received, handled and shipped from the distribution center to brick-and-mortar stores.
