What does Omni-channel Really Mean to Your Supply Chain?
Gone are the days of single-channel retailing - and supply chains servicing that model. Today, retailers must optimize their supply chains to deliver products from any point where consumers want to buy them. A typical consumer expects cross-channel services such as 'click-and-collect' and 'order-to-deliver'; wider online SKU offerings; in-store kiosks; free delivery; and free returns through any channel.
Finding a way to optimize supply chains to meet the new pressures of channel proliferation, while still servicing the standard need to keep costs under control and deliver the right products to the right place at the right time, is the new reality for omnichannel retailers.
VCIntegration will host The Omni-Channel Supply Chain Leaders Round Table for 40+ vertical e-commerce platform owners & physical retailers in the transformation to an O2O strategy, and will discuss the key trends and best practices transforming back office, inventory management, and fulfillment in omni-channel environment.
What will be addressed on site:
• Rethink your retail supply chain - bridging the gap between retail stores and the online marketplace
• Going beyond the DC for cross-channel inventory strategies - embracing multiple order fulfilment options without reducing margins and overstocking
• Building effective back-end enterprise system services - managing and responding with immediacy to opportunities and threats through cross-channel visibility
