Warp, established in 2021, aims to enhance shipping supply chains for companies by leveraging its technology-driven network of shippers, carriers, and warehouses. Now, the company is venturing into the realm of automation by introducing robots to optimize its warehouse operations.

The company plans to deploy robots in key locations within its network, starting with Los Angeles, Chicago, New Jersey, Dallas, and Miami. By focusing on integrating automation into its core operations, Warp aims to enhance efficiency and reduce labor costs for both itself and its warehouse partners.
Through this strategic approach, Warp seeks to differentiate itself as a logistics company that prioritizes innovation and customer service, leveraging technology to drive significant impact in the industry.
