The data economy refers to an economic system where data is a key asset, driving value creation, innovation, and decision-making across industries. It relies on the collection, analysis, and exchange of data to improve efficiency, personalise services, and create new business models. The key characteristics of the data economy includes:

Data as Currency: Businesses treat data like a resource, like oil or capital.

Automation and AI: Data powers automation, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics.

Real-time Decision Making: Access to live data enables faster, more accurate business decisions.

Interconnected Systems: Platforms, devices, and software constantly generate and share data (e.g., IoT, cloud computing).

Regulatory Importance: Data privacy, ownership, and security are major concerns (e.g., GDPR).

In essence, the data economy is about turning raw data into actionable insights that create competitive advantage and new economic opportunities. In the era of the data economy, warehouse management systems (WMS) have become indispensable tools for businesses aiming to optimise their supply chain operations.
