Challenges Facing Distribution Today
Meeting Growing
Demand
The transition to omnichannel distribution presents complex challenges for companies operating in the distribution industry. With uncertain order mixes and evolving customer preferences, distribution centers must adapt to serve retail, wholesale, and e-commerce channels effectively. Flexibility and scalability are paramount, enabling companies to adjust to changing demand without disruption. Leveraging automation technologies such as MMRs enables distribution centers to optimize operations.
Navigating Labor Shortages and Tight SLAs
Labor shortages and stringent service level agreements (SLAs) pose significant challenges for distribution companies. As the industry experiences rapid growth, finding and retaining skilled workers becomes increasingly difficult. Tight SLAs demand efficient order fulfillment processes, further exacerbated by labor scarcity. Automation solutions like MMRs offer a path forward, enhancing productivity, reducing operating costs, and ensuring timely order delivery amidst workforce challenges.
Embracing Omnichannel Distribution
The distribution industry grapples with the surge in e-commerce, forcing companies to adapt swiftly to shifting demand patterns. With the pandemic accelerating online shopping habits, distribution centers face pressure to streamline operations for faster order fulfillment. Balancing the needs of retail, wholesale, and e-commerce channels requires flexible and scalable solutions to optimize workflows while maximizing efficiency and customer satisfaction.
