Abstract: A warehousing system includes a container (e.g., tote) for storing at least one item of merchandise, a first electronic (e.g., radio frequency identification (RFID) module associated with the first container, and a controller which wirelessly communicates with first electronic module, for directing a transfer of said at least one item of merchandise to and/or from said first container. The inventive system may include, for example, a hybrid retail/warehouse system which includes a facility having a shelving area, and a picking area adjacent to the shelving area, and a layout so as to minimize a picking area and a walking distance between a picking area and a shelving area.
