According to NPD, the retail industry has seen a dramatic change in shopping trends, including consumers increasing their use of curbside and buy online pickup in store (BOPIS) by 13 percent, older shoppers embracing e-commerce, and online grocery buying up 77 percent.
These trends translate into orders sent to suppliers in growing numbers and through multiple sales channels, each with its own fulfillment process.
