Omnichannel Retail
Solutions for omnichannel logistics
Industry Overview
The retail landscape continues to evolve as traditional brick-and-mortar retailers race to catch up with leading e-commerce retailers in their online offerings and e-tailers begin to open physical stores. The end goal of both remains the same: to deliver a seamless experience across all mediums and develop a dominant presence across multiple channels. However, omnichannel success is not as simple as it might seem due to the large pressure it puts on a company’s supply chain. Whether in-store or online, customers expect faultless service and almost immediate delivery of goods. In order to live up to these expectations, traditional retailers and e-commerce specialists must adapt their warehousing operations to deliver more visibility, more flexibility, and more intelligence
Industry Trends
- Consumers expect similar ranges of products across physical and digital channels. Omnichannel warehousing requires a larger range of SKUs to deal with distribution across multiple channels.
- Similar to pure e-commerce fulfillment, omnichannel fulfillment experiences higher order volume than traditional retail with lower quantities per order. Furthermore, omnichannel operations must deal with high packages-per-order while trying to keep delivery costs competitive.
- Due to the demanding and complex nature of omnichannel fulfillment, retailers have increased interest in intelligent technology that enables flexibility in their operations. Technologies from mobile robots to RFID are being considered and implemented to improve omnichannel capabilities.
