The warehouse is the online ‘engine room’

To ease a transition to eCommerce or help companies optimise existing processes, Indigo has published a new white paper: Foundations for e-commerce: the warehouse as the ‘online engine room’.

It is full of practical advice and written for companies who want to ensure they can achieve the maximum benefit from their investment in a WMS by building three core capabilities: 1) flexible, accurate and efficient warehouse operations; 2) the ability to accommodate a range of order profiles and achieve OTIF (on time in full) delivery targets; and 3) customer service excellence whilst mitigating excessive operating costs.

Mark Wilkinson, consultancy manager at Indigo Software says: “eCommerce has made the warehouse one of the most important assets and a highly strategic business centre. Contrary to popular belief, it is the warehouse and not the website that’s the hub of an eCommerce operation.” 

Readers of Indigo’s white paper will learn what makes an eCommerce warehouse distinct; common problem zones and how to calculate the ROI from investing in a WMS. To obtain a copy, email melissa.collins@indigo.co.uk
