Multi-Channel Retail Supply Chain Management Solutions

Multi-Channel Retail Supply Chain Management Solutions for the Fulfilment Sector

The 3rd party logistics (3PL) and fulfilment sector has been driven by an increase in delivery options such as click & collect, together with a rise in order numbers due to mobile and online ordering. All of this has forced many retailers to turn to third party specialists to ship products on their behalf.

The growth is significant. The industry was worth £2.56bn in 2014, and it is estimated that 450 million parcels will be delivered by efulfilment suppliers each year by 2017 - an increase from 333 million in 2014.

For any third party fulfilment house, it is important to develop an efulfilment service to meet consumers’ delivery expectations, plan appropriate flexibility and agility to meet seasonal peaks and ensure sophisticated and effective returns management. Sanderson fulfilment solutions enable all of this and more.
