Amazon is ubiquitous with online shopping and the growth of ecommerce. You may even feel the \u201cAmazon Effect\u201d in your fulfillment operations, as the demands for next-day and same-day shipping<\/a> increases, along with demands for easy return management, robotics-powered warehouses, and top-notch customer service.<\/p>\n

If you think the only way to meet ecommerce fulfillment<\/a> demands is by being Amazon, think again! Advancements in warehouse management solutions can help you stay competitive in the third-party logistics<\/a> (3PL) space to meet the growing demands of customers and support your brands to grow their business.<\/p>\n

    What is the Amazon Effect?<\/h2>\n

    The Amazon Effect<\/a>, or the continuous consumer shift to online shopping and ecommerce makes it possible to shop from anywhere with an internet connection. It allows consumers to find exactly what they need at the lowest price and to have it delivered quickly.<\/p>\n

    For brick-and-mortar stores, the Amazon Effect has created a push for more unique in-person shopping experiences, including play areas for kids, spas and lounge areas, and even sporting events. It has also introduced hybrid ecommerce models, like click-and-collect options, and beacon-based technology<\/a> to help customers locate products and services while also receiving targeted marketing messages.<\/p>\n

    High Tech Fulfillment<\/h2>\n

    So, how can traditional warehouses and fulfillment operations compete with Amazon? Embrace technology and automation!<\/p>\n

    Running your warehouse with manual tools and processes will no longer be enough in today\u2019s ecommerce environment, as the risks are too high, from picking the incorrect item to charging too much for slow shipping.<\/p>\n

    Warehouse management systems<\/a> (WMS) can help\u00a0optimize your warehouse layout<\/a> for faster picking and packing<\/a>, identify bottlenecks in your processes, and even improve your returns management processes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Additionally, WMS software can make it easy to incorporate technology into your warehouse: mobile scanning<\/a> to ensure the correct item is picked and packed every time, and robotics and drones<\/a> to speed up picking and sorting processes, allowing you to fulfill more orders in a day.<\/p>\n

    Even autonomous vehicles could play a role inside your warehouse and in your shipping processes to speed up your last-mile delivery options.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019ve been on the receiving end of consistent labor shortages<\/a>, introducing technology and automation into your fulfillment operations can also help you ease the crunch.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”off|off|off” module_class=”center-vertically” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#eef1f8″ background_enable_color=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#6717cd 51%|#0b0b0b 100%” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”42px|auto|45px|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”30px|40px|30px|40px|false|false” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_vertical=”0px” box_shadow_blur=”10px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(74,75,109,0.09)” global_module=”3761″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#ffffff” header_3_font_size=”30px” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”20px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
