Every company should consider an omni-channel strategy
Because of the strong growth of e-commerce, every company needs an omni-channel strategy. This can be business-to-business or business-to-consumer deliveries. In order to make such deliveries possible, an e-fulfillment operation is required. 

Relevant questions are:

• can the e-fulfillment operation be integrated into the existing logistics operation or should it be separate;
• can the e-fulfillment operation be done in-house or can this better be outsourced;
• which service providers could carry out the e-fulfillment operation.

 

E-fulfillment is about being able to react fast
E-commerce continues to develop. What is trendy today can be outdated again tomorrow. Being able to respond quickly to market developments is required. This means that demanding requirements are set to the physical design of the supply chain, the IT systems and the organization. Not everything can be assessed in advance, it also means ongoing learning.
