2020 Ecommerce Challenges – Trends & Solutions

Posted on Monday 25 May 2020

Focused on improving order accuracy, meeting customers’ needs and speeding up order fulfilment times, e-commerce and omni-channel shippers face a litany of challenges when trying to meet their goals.

With national unemployment rates hovering at 50-year lows— and “throwing labour” at the problem is no longer an option—companies need advanced strategies in order to stand out in the modern e-commerce marketplace.

The innovation taking place behind the scenes—out of sight of the customer—on the e-commerce front is equally as (if not more) important. For without the right combination of people, processes, and systems, companies can quickly find themselves behind in the retail fulfilment game. From effective inventory management to returns processing and to a move toward smaller and smaller order sizes, the nation’s warehouses and DCs are facing pressures that they’ve never dealt with in the past.
