As consumer demands continue to rise, businesses must find ways to adapt while also increasing the accuracy and speed of shipments. Increasing accuracy and speed helps maintain a scalable fulfillment process and more efficient distribution operations, even when demands are at their highest during peak season. While it may seem too early to be worrying about rising demands and peak season, studies show that 46% of shoppers started their holiday shopping earlier than usual in 2021. Additionally, studies indicate businesses that can’t meet the demands of their customers lose an estimated $634 billion every year. Such a revenue loss from unmet demands creates more shipping errors, slower workflows, stressed employees, more stockouts, and incomplete visibility. These issues, if left unsolved, can also lead to damaged customer relationships.

Risking shipping errors, stockouts, losing expenses, or slower productivity ultimately sets your business at a disadvantage as demands begin to rise. Moreover, direct-to-customer shipping and BOPIS transactions may further complicate operations lacking proper visibility since teams must track product movement through various channels. Fortunately, inventory tracking solutions like RFID can ensure 99.9% accuracy and provide more accurate inventory management with real-time visibility. Higher accuracy and real-time visibility create smoother workflows to ultimately help workers complete more orders and minimize the issues that drain expenses and cause long-term business issues.
