Amazing Amazon
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
This article is not about the river, nor the rain forests along it. This is an insight of a company which is widely recognized as the world’s largest online retailer.
The images and narrations below are just an introduction of the amazing operation of a phenomenal, “chaotic” online business that sells everything. Well, almost!
Be sure to look at the film clip link at the end as it puts the whole operation into a more understandable perspective of what is actually going on. We guarantee you that it is worth every second of the 5 minutes you are going to spend on this exploration.
As the world's largest online retailer, Amazon needs somewhere to put all of those products. The solution? Giant warehouses. Eighty to be exact. Strategically located near key shipping hubs around the world.
The warehouses themselves are massive, with some over 1.2 million square feet in size (111,484 sq m). And at the heart of this global operation are people (over 65,000 of them), and a logistics system known as chaotic storage.
