Online purchases, in-store pickup (BOPIS), and same-day delivery from stores are among the biggest success stories of omnichannel retail fulfillment. Shoppers particularly prefer this service when it is fast and free, and demand is still growing. Accordingly, many retailers are preparing their stores as fulfillment locations. In fact, 90% of retailers have reported plans to implement BOPIS by 2021. However, from an operational perspective, if not executed carefully, store fulfillment can encounter challenges. This issue is particularly severe in the area of store inventory management. Accurately tracking store inventory is essential to building a reliable omnichannel offering. Low inventory accuracy can quickly lead to failures in omnichannel deployment, potentially damaging the brand's reputation.
