Omnichannelity in the supply chain: how to get organised?
Taking care of your omnichannel supply chain from upstream to downstream
Increasingly efficient e-tailers, a constantly expanding offer, increased product availability, all in city centres that are less and less accessible and faced with increasingly mature customers: these are the factors that are pushing towards omnichannelity and the need to to think globally about the supply chain. Upstream - in purchasing, sales forecasting, procurement, stock management, order preparation and shipping - but also downstream via transport, returns and after-sales service, it is necessary to know how to structure and organise its supply chain to meet the needs of consumers, on physical and/or digital networks:
"In an omnichannel world, there is not one but many supply chains, and omnichannelity represents a blurring of the boundaries between channels. It is therefore necessary to provide a single response to a consumer who is navigating between channels and to offer him a seamless experience. This is the challenge facing retailers. The supply chain responds to these needs but is also active and a driving force in the development of the service proposal, and thus contributes directly to business development," explains Olivier Dubouis, partner at Diagma.
