Special attention in logistics companies should be given to the warehouse as a critical component of logistics, in particular to such processes as big data processing and automation, as well as the improvement, development, and support of information systems. Enhancing logistics information systems provides companies with a competitive advantage, reduces the emergence of human error, accelerates processes, and ensures the collection and sharing of information and big data are used in a sustainable manner. The automation of warehouse processes results in better-established operational safety and overall service quality. The present paper reviews the importance of improving warehouse automation and logistics information systems. Its advantages are highlighted, and the results of the conducted research are provided to expose the problem areas of warehouse automation and encourage improvements in information systems in Lithuanian logistics companies wherein there is a need to transfer a large amount of information and increase service quality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems13030186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,7]],"date-time":"2025-03-07T09:38:46Z","timestamp":1741340326000},"page":"186","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Improving the Information Systems of a Warehouse as a Critical Component of Logistics: The Case of Lithuanian Logistics Companies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Kristina","family":"Vai\u010di\u016bt\u0117","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of the Logistics and Transport, Faculty of Transport Engineering, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Plytin\u0117s Str. 25, LT-10105 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Au\u0161ra","family":"Katinien\u0117","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Systems, Faculty of Fundamental Sciences, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Saul\u0117tekio Ave. 11, LT-10223 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kihel, Y.E.
