The shift to online ordering has demanded the attention of virtually every grocery operator. As the volume of e-grocery continues to rise, grocers are in need to navigate these complexities and implement successful micro-fulfillment centers (MFCs) and larger e-grocery fulfillment centers (EFCs). The latest Swisslog e-book unpacks the evolution of e-grocery, navigates the dynamic market, and changing consumer behaviors.
The E-Grocery Dilemma: What is the right approach?
Swisslog vice president of retail and e-commerce sales, Colman Roche, discusses the challenges grocers face as they evaluate their options for dealing with the rapid growth in e-grocery sales. How long can grocers continue to satisfy demand with in-store manual picking without creating congestion and threatening profitability and what are their alternatives?
As more grocers get real-world experience operating micro-fulfillment centers, new e-grocery fulfillment best practices are emerging, and more sophisticated approaches are being adopted that enable levels of productivity and speed that weren’t possible several years ago.
