Dark stores, also known as dark stores, are those stores converted into operations and logistics warehouses arranged for the preparation and dispatch of orders, purchased through an e-commerce , online store or application. Generally, dark stores are usually located in large urban centers or in places with a high demographic density and are characterized by being stores without customers.
These dark stores are designed exclusively to respond to the growing demand for online orders and, therefore, are strategically organized in order to make it easier for employees to complete orders as soon as possible and thus fulfill the maximum number of orders. This is because they are technologically adapted with automated processes.
