The hottest term in the distribution industry over the last few years is “Omni-Channel.” What does this term really mean? Is your business an Omni-Channel operation? What does that mean to you and your operation?

First, let’s define what Omni-Channel means. If you are a business that has multiple sales channels, for instance, a direct sales force selling to direct customers, wholesale customers that are acting as distributors of your products and also a B2C E-Commerce site, then you are an Omni-Channel distribution company. Your customer can access your products and services regardless of the channel they choose to access them through.

The revolution in distribution and retail

Are you finding that your E-Commerce Business or E-Commerce Fulfillment for your major retailers is starting to gain in volume versus your traditional “big box” retail business, you are not alone? What it often means is that your number of orders is going up and you need to devise processes to handle the volume with speed and agility.
