In today’s highly competitive Indian market, brands strive to maintain customer satisfaction and loyalty by offering them an unlimited choice of products and multiple channels to purchase from.
This is precisely where omnichannel sales and fulfillment come into the picture. It enables brands to leverage the strengths of both B2B and B2C channels to increase sales and enhance the customer experience. For instance, while B2C channels allow for unlimited product listings on web portals and marketplaces, brick-and-mortar stores have limited physical shelf space, making it difficult to display all available products.
By enabling customers to select products online and have them through in-store pickup or direct delivery from the fulfillment centre, brands can provide a superior customer experience and increase sales. Each channel has unique market dynamics and operating models for the fulfillment process, which can be complex to manage in-house.
While brands may have merchandising, marketing, and sales teams, managing fulfillment operations requires warehousing and inventory management expertise; to ensure optimal inventory planning, management, and control across all channels, brands must work with fulfillment providers with the necessary knowledge and technology to manage inventory from a shared pool. Failure to do so can result in suboptimal inventory planning, increased costs, and stock-outs in one or more channels, leading to lost sales and reduced customer satisfaction.
Choosing the right partner
Therefore, choosing the right partner with deep knowledge of the brand’s products and accurate handling, storage, and packing processes at eaches/pieces level in tech-driven warehouses is critical. In addition, different sales channels have unique requirements for the fulfillment centre, such as shipping windows, storage, picking, packing, and information flow through IT systems. Therefore, to achieve successful omnichannel sales and fulfillment, brands must partner with providers with the expertise and technology to manage these complexities effectively.
