At ProMat 2017, Commonwealth’s Ian Hobkirk will show attendees how top companies are mastering the omnichannel distribution center.
The race is on to develop omnichannel distribution strategies that enhance the customer experience while maximizing productivity. To find out how top companies are mastering the omnichannel distribution center, Commonwealth Supply Chain Advisors recently surveyed industry leaders to learn about their distribution strategies and practices. At ProMat 2017, Commonwealth’s President Ian Hobkirk will share the survey results and help attendees better ensure distribution center efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility in this era of rapidly changing customer expectations.
In Key Distribution Strategies of Top OmniChannel Companies, Hobkirk will show attendees how omnichannel is shaping new geographic network strategies, which material handling technologies are being leveraged to drive efficiency and accuracy in the distribution center, and how companies are changing the way they use warehouse software in omnichannel environments.
“Fully leveraging the benefits of omnichannel commerce, in many cases, can require significant investment in systems that enable company-wide inventory visibility and inter-departmental logistics coordination such as advanced point-of-sale (POS) systems, distributed order management, and inventory management—not to mention a potential restructuring of the logistics network,” says Hobkirk. “Companies are turning to their distribution centers to bridge a gap.”
