The Retailer s Holy Grail Fulfil From The Best Place The best place is the one that maximizes your profit on the order The delivery/pick up location could be your home, a store or a third party convenience location Picking up in store gives the consumer speed and free delivery Home delivery is convenient for some, inconvenient for others A tube station or convenience store is convenient for many, though we don t have enough experience on consumer satisfaction with this option. Today most companies fulfil from their warehouse, even for click and collect, because they don t trust the store inventory records Know the customer s preference and the cost of fulfilment, so you can build a set of rules that makes sense.
Fulfilment From Store An Evolution Home/Third Party Home delivery fulfil from warehouse if stocks permit Collect From Store Fulfil from store inventory if it s a basic or core line and on hand is >5 of a SKU Fulfil from nearest store with stock if warehouse stock is zero and no receipts imminent Fulfil from store if on hand of any SKU is >5, then if it is 5 when you trust your store records more Fulfil from store if the item is a return to store that the store is not ranged for and you would have to pay to return it to the warehouse and the shipping cost inc store labour is less than the 40% (say) clearance markdown If on hand = 1 or 0, fulfil from warehouse first. If the warehouse has zero on hand (in free stock), offer fulfilment from the closest other store the customer can get to. Fulfil from warehouse if the store has inventory but you don t trust it Fulfil from store if it is a big ticket item and you can call the customer back to confirm it is ready to collect

Single Stock Pool We don't plan to move to a single stock pool as we only have two channels - retail and online. -Supply Chain Director, Small Format Speciality Retailer We don't trade online and we don't have DCs, so each branch has its own stock pool. -Supply Chain Manager, Large Format Speciality Retailer Goods are cross docked and go straight out to stores, which act as mini warehouses. Online orders are fulfilled from the customer's local store. -Head of Logistics, Small Format Speciality Retailer We don't operate online but we do have in effect a separate stock pool for each warehouse which stores order from. -Supply Chain Director, Small Format Speciality Retailer Source: Relex Solutions State of the Retail Supply Chain 2015

Summary Omni-channel is the most important thing any retail business can address It changes almost monthly as we learn more about what it really means Fulfilment is the area of most development now, though other things are obviously important The implications for inventory management are significant The implications for systems are significant Retailers have no choice but to invest to keep up, let alone get ahead Distributed order management is coming into its own as a new breed of IT systems.
