Grocery omnichannel fulfillment solutions

 

Changing consumer behaviors driving demand for agility and speed

The grocery industry has undergone a fundamental shift. Enabling omnichannel capabilities, including curbside pick-up and home delivery, and micro-fulfillment strategies are critical as grocers navigate challenges that include:

  • Shift to digital, resulting in new fulfillment models
  • Fulfillment speed and accuracy expectations set by Amazon and other major online retailers
  • Multi-temperature environments to prevent spoilage
  • Complexity of handling fresh products
  • Inventory replenishment of essential items
  • Labor challenges driving up costs, limiting availability and requiring additional measures to keep workers safe
FORTNA can help transform fulfillment operations to enable flexibility and address digital disruption and growth objectives.

Client Success Case Study

Supermarket chain optimizes operations to support significant e-Commerce growth

An international supermarket chain with over 10,000 stores in more than 25 countries, was experiencing 100% e-Commerce growth annually. Manually processing e-Com orders at two locations was inefficient and not sufficient to meet the needs of the business. FORTNA designed and implemented two DCs for centralized fulfillment in Eastern and Central Europe.

The designs optimized order processing using a hybrid of automated and manual solutions for picking and shipping to meet the business requirements. Today, the client sells more than 30,000 SKUs in a hyper-local online store format and has a reputation for reliable and on-time order processing.

Data-driven

Scientifically proven proprietary modeling tools and algorithms allow FORTNA to design for maximum efficiency and outcomes.
