Grocery retailers have suffered multiple supply chain disruptions while ensuring delivery of essential goods to consumers during the pandemic. With the explosive growth in online shopping, businesses are restructuring store fulfillment operations to keep pace with increasing instant delivery expectations. Retailers are sandwiched between low-value items and high handling costs for fragile, perishable and temperature-sensitive products, making it hard to keep fulfillment profitable.
Furthermore, reevaluation of in-store, click and collect, and e-commerce fulfillment must align with social distancing and safety norms. An intelligent, ergonomic and sustainable automation strategy will change the game in grocery supply chain.
Walmart and other superstores/big box stores can also benefit from the more organized and efficient order fulfillment process provided by automation. Automated solutions can help these high-volume operations keep up with the heavy customer demand by substantially increasing the capacity to fill orders faster. Robots equipped with artificial intelligence can also overcome the challenges resulting from significant labor shortages. Moreover, robotics help superstores meet the increasing need for same-day and next-day delivery, giving them a competitive advantage.
Most online shoppers opt for free shipping and same-day delivery. The right automation technology improves fulfillment speed to meet margin pressures.
Temperature-controlled storage and short shelf life of perishable items require agile fulfillment technologies.
Storage complexity due to SKU proliferation adds to struggles. Retailers require efficient storage management with better inventory visibility and control.
Varying demands from new channels need a customer-centric fulfillment strategy for real-time inventory visibility and faster last-mile deliveries.
