![]() Pickers can pick items for different channel sales at once instead of zig-zagging across the warehouse for each order. Wave Picking is ideal for multichannel orders because it targets which items to pick rather than which orders. Wave Picking is a paperless and digital pick method that takes pickers around the warehouse in sessions (or waves) and has them pick by date, SKU, or shipping method. To satisfy customers across multiple channels, implement a method called Wave Picking. Picking efficiently is at the core of inventory management functionality. Your job is to find a way to do that efficiently. Go Paperless with Picking WorkflowsĬustomers want their deliveries fast. When quantities are synced like this, it reduces the risk of out of stocks and oversells, which means you can ship orders confidently. For example, if you have a red backpack listed on Amazon, Walmart, and eBay and someone purchases two of them on Amazon, the new quantity will sync across channels to reflect the updated amount. Inventory data is pushed to each product listing and adjusted accordingly across all channels simultaneously when a purchase is made. With inventory management software, users can implement automatic quantity syncs to keep product listings consistent. Not only does this confuse customers, but also makes your brand seem unreliable. The last thing you want as a multichannel seller is for quantities to display differently across channels. Organize Inventory Across Channels with Quantity Syncs Organized inventory is better managed with inventory management software, and inventory management software features help ship multichannel orders faster. The secret sauce to get retailers there starts with organized inventory. With Amazon’s delivery model increasing competition for independent brands more and more every day, the stakes to ship faster are at an all-time high. 72.7% said they are “unlikely to do business with a brand again after a poor delivery experience.” In fact, according to a recent study, 84% of respondents said delivery is an important factor in the online shopping experience. Not only do they want to ship fast, but correctly, and on time. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday around the corner, retailers are looking to ship multichannel orders as fast as possible to meet demand. ![]() Avery Walts is a Partner Marketing Manager at SkuVault where she focuses on producing content to support the efforts of SkuVault’s eCommerce partnerships. ![]() This blog was contributed by Avery Walts of SkuVault, an inventory management software system.
