This review establishes that warehouse management technologies contribute simplifying operations, reducing costs, and improving the flow of information. It also acknowledges that the main obstacles for their implementation are: high costs, organizational culture, and an unsuitable structure of warehouse management processes. This article also discusses some studies that show that ICTs in Colombia have a low implementation level at Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs), and an intermediate implementation level at large companies. %K Cadena de suministros %K Administración de almacenes %K Tecnologías de la Información y las comunicaciones (TIC) %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
