Why?
Because delivering a great online sales experience is more important than ever.
Implementing a ship from store program can help you save money and improve customer service
Here’s how
- By tapping inventory in stores, not just in distribution centers, you’re less likely to disappoint customers with out-of-stock messages and lose sales.
- Aligning demand in one region with inventory in another can reduce the need for markdowns on overstock, saving you money.
- More efficient turnover provides space for newer products on store shelves for a better customer experience.
- Shipping products from a store close to the customer rather than a distribution center can lower shipping costs and get products to customers faster.
