Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Omni-Channel Retail and the Supply Chain The days of going to the local department store to buy a television, view the options available, and make a purchase now seem "quaint." The emergence of the internet, smartphones, social media, and other technologies has opened a world of new options for consumers (and businesses) to review, research, and buy online with an ever-increasing array of delivery options. The emergence of e-commerce has resulted in what is commonly known today as "omni-channel" marketing, in which customers engage with companies in a variety of ways, including in a physical store or online via websites and mobile apps. This process puts the supply chain "front and center," as consumers are increasingly demanding and browsing, buying, and returning goods through various channels, not just the traditional "brick and mortar" way. To accomplish this with high levels of service while remaining profitable requires real-time visibility of inventory across the supply chain and a single view of consumers as they continuously move from one channel to another. While this is a boon to consumers, it has made the already complex global supply chain even more challenging to manage. On top of that, the 2020 Covid19 pandemic has accelerated this omni-channel retail trend, as consumers need even more ways to order and additional options for last-mile delivery, such as curbside pickup. Covid19 has exposed a lack of flexibility and readiness, resulting in shortages of everything from toilet paper and meats to personal protective equipment (PPE) and ventilators. It has been a real-life example of the "bullwhip effect," where variability at the consumer end of the supply chain results in increased variability as one goes upstream towards distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers. This results in shortages, misallocations, and increased costs. No longer can a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer of consumer products just "fill the pipeline" and wait for orders to come in. Now, they must anticipate various purchases and delivery items, while at the same time minimizing costs. To do this is no easy task, requiring a Lean, agile, and responsive supply chain. Until now, there was no existing "playbook" for organizations to navigate their way through this new world. This book describes the impact of omni-channel marketing on the supply chain and logistics functions, and is intended to help management meet the needs of not only today’s ever-changing world but to anticipate what may be required in the future to achieve superior customer service, profitability, and a competitive advantage.

This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,1, IE Business School, Madrid, course: Production & Supply Chain Management, language: English, abstract: This thesis is a description of the state of the art of the Omnichannel retail strategy with a focus on the changes necessary in supply chain design. Its purpose is to provide a comprehensive overview on omnichannel retailing that can serve as a first source of information for companies thinking about adapting this strategy. There is no single external source that combines the description of omnichannel retailing with details of how to implement this strategy yet, so this thesis makes it significantly easier for retailers to familiarize with the topic and get impulses for further research. The introduction shows the developments that led to the strategic move, which eases understanding the concept and its purpose. The thesis finds that technological innovations, changing shopping behavior, increasing expectations, and intensifying online competition were the major drivers affecting this shift. It continues to describe the common omnichannel initiatives before it gets into more detail on what supply chain and logistics changes are necessary to support them. First, it shows that the application of RFID technology and IT platforms creates an end-to-end transparent supply chain, which delivers the core capability to pursue this strategy: complete inventory visibility. Second, the solutions to improve fulfillment speed are presented. Both upgrades in order processing inside the warehouse and innovative last mile solutions are discussed in detail. Describing the benefits of omnichannel retailing, the paper shows that it perfectly meets the requirements of today’s retailers. Not only does the strategy improve profitability and productivity, it also helps them meet expectations, learn more about their customers and use this knowledge to sustainably compete in the market. It also finds that there are significant challenges to overcome before reaping these benefits. Large investments and added complexity need to be faced during setup and a non-aligned organization and the inability to engage employees are major problems during execution. As the retail environment evolves at a rapid pace, the paper finally presents strategies for companies that have fully developed omnichannel capabilities. These ensure that retailers can also compete once omnichannel is the new normal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compiles the current state of knowledge on omnichannel retailing, a new concept in which all sales and interaction channels are considered together, and which aims to deliver a seamless customer experience regardless of the channel. It highlights case studies and examples related to each of the many barriers to an omnichannel approach, demonstrating not just success stories, but also failures. While omnichannel has already been recognized as an emerging retail trend, the articles in this book fill an important gap in research on the topic. Providing readers with essential insights on the omnichannel strategy and its implementation, the book will also stimulate academic discussion on this emerging trend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores key factors associated with consumer behaviour, from both a theoretical and practical perspective. It particularly focuses on the consumer in the 21st century – educated and conscious, but also impatient, disloyal and capricious. The book is divided into three main parts: the first part discusses the theoretical and legal aspects of consumers’ behaviour, analysing the government's role in regulating consumer behaviour and the role of the European Union. The second part then examines organisational strategies, such as omni-channel retailing and branding products. And lastly, the third part describes consumer behaviours in the context of individual products and services, from coffee to energy.

Download or read book Reaching 50 Million Nanostores written by Jan Fransoo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of small, family operated nanostores are the main source of consumer packaged goods in many neighborhoods of large cities across the developing world. In many of these countries, well over half of consumer goods are sold via the nanostore channel. Understanding this channel is critical for anyone selling or intending to sell into these large and fast growing markets. Tackling the logistics complexities of serving millions of nanostores is a challenge that many face, yet few master. In this book, we discuss logistics distribution and commercial route-to-market concepts for this channel and present best practices from Latin America, Asia, and North Africa. The book serves to inspire managers in marketing, sales, supply chain, distribution, logistics, and general management to develop their understanding and their business success in these growing markets. This book includes a unique set of case studies focusing on companies that have successfully created forward-looking approaches to retail operations over the world. The case studies included provide readers with a range of best practices, useful insights, and commercial and logistics strategies for serving diverse distribution channels. The authors (with extensive experience within these markets) and editors (from premier research institutions in Europe and the US) have done extensive field research over multiple years to develop the insights that are shared in this book. With the growth of convenience stores in the developed world, the insights also serve as an inspiration for those in Europe and North America that are confronted with a rapid proliferation of retail outlets as proximity shopping is becoming the norm. In the final chapter, the editors reflect on recent developments, particularly in China, where electronic commerce and nanostores are partnering to become a strong rival for the organized retail channel. "As the world population tends to concentrate more and more in urban environments, the two fastest growing channels for consumer goods distribution are online sales and convenient, proximal nanostores. Remarkably, this trend applies to both the most and the least developed economies. This book is a valuable resource that covers the realities and the challenges of serving nanostores, a subject much less widely covered than the "sexier" online e-commerce channel, but equally important for understanding the evolution of the world's fast moving consumer goods markets." - Sergio Barbarino, P&G Research Fellow and Chairman of The European Technology Platform for Logistic Innovation, ALICE

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Omnichannel retailing - serving customers via a combination of physical stores and web-based stores- offers new opportunities and forces traditional retailers to rethink their supply chain design, operational efficiency, revenue/cost streams, and operations/marketing interface. While omnichannel supply chain management has received some attention recently, the role of cross-channel fulfillment, the layout of the omnichannel retail supply chain, and revenue management considering customer channel choice behavior have not been widely studied. This dissertation investigates these three streams in omnichannel supply chain design. In the cross-channel fulfillment stream, we study the optimal supply chain design for a dual-channel retailer that combines the operations of both channels in an omnichannel environment considering demand segmentation, cost structure, and more importantly, the execution ability of the firm. We formulate this problem as a two-stage stochastic programming model and use first-order optimality conditions to study the optimal inventory replenishment decisions and omnichannel strategy decisions under perfect and imperfect demand information. For the second chapter, we extend the dual-channel setting from a single store to N retail stores. We study the transshipment problem based on a two-store case by reformulating the problem into a large scale mixed-integer linear programming model. The third chapter addresses the revenue management stream by focuses on the interface between the retailer's operations and customer's demand. Specifically, this chapter explores the right role for a physical store in an omnichannel environment for an online-first retailer. The main result relates to the trade-off between the increased profits from the newly acquired demand (from the new channel) and the increased fulfillment and operations costs from cannibalized demand.

Download or read book Operations in an Omnichannel World written by Santiago Gallino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of retailing has changed dramatically in the past decade. Sales originating at online channels have been steadily increasing, and even for sales transacted at brick-and-mortar channels, a much larger fraction of sales is affected by online channels in different touch points during the customer journey. Shopper behavior and expectations have been evolving along with the growth of digital channels, challenging retailers to redesign their fulfillment and execution processes, to better serve their customers. This edited book examines the challenges and opportunities arising from the shift towards omni- channel retail. We examine these issues through the lenses of operations management, emphasizing the supply chain transformations associated with fulfilling an omni-channel demand. The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, “Omni-channel business models”, we present four studies that explore how retailers are adjusting their fundamental business models to the new omni-channel landscape. The second part, “Data-driven decisions in an omni-channel world”, includes five chapters that study the evolving data opportunities enabled by omni-channel retail and present specific examples of data-driven analyses. Finally, in the third part, “Case studies in Omni-channel retailing”, we include four studies that provide a deep dive into how specific industries, companies and markets are navigating the omni-channel world. Ultimately, this book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of operations in an omni-channel context and highlights the different innovative research ideas on the topic using a variety of methodologies.
