The retail landscape has undergone a seismic shift with the rise of eCommerce and the ever-expanding realm of omnichannel fulfillment. As consumer preferences continue to evolve, many businesses are still trying to catch up. In order to remain competitive, companies must adapt their order fulfillment systems and processes to meet the demands of this new era. Continually improving warehouse storage strategies becomes essential to thrive in the world of eCommerce and omnichannel operations. In this article, we’ll explore UNEX's dynamic high-density industrial shelving solution, SpeedCell, and UNEX SpanTrack carton flow as pivotal tools to optimize eCommerce and omnichannel fulfillment operations.
In the modern retail ecosystem, the concept of omnichannel has become synonymous with customer-centricity. Omnichannel fulfillment means providing a seamless and consistent shopping experience across various sales channels – be it online stores, brick-and-mortar retail, curbside pickups, or same-day delivery. Consumers expect nothing less than quick, accurate, and convenient order fulfillment, irrespective of the chosen shopping channel.
As the boundaries between physical and digital shopping blur, businesses face unique challenges in managing inventory, optimizing order picking, and streamlining logistics. Static warehouse storage systems that once sufficed may now prove insufficient to keep up with the rapidly increasing demands of the omnichannel world.
As businesses continue to adapt to increased customer expectations and countless new ways to fulfill orders, they all share these common challenges:
In the quest for efficiency in the omnichannel world, companies using static storage solutions struggle to maintain the capacity levels needed to accommodate more SKUs in the same footprint. Static shelving systems may get the job done initially, but over time, they prove to be inefficient. Dynamic storage solutions allow companies to increase space efficiency, which can lead to a plethora of other benefits that resolve the aforementioned challenges around labor, accuracy, and throughput.
