Top 3 Bottlenecks in the Warehouse During the Holidays
The holiday shopping season is an annual sweet spot for both online and brick-and-mortar retailers. Unfortunately, the holidays aren't all fun and games, especially for online retailers that can't scale to the sudden influx of orders that this time of year brings.
Like it or not, the customer experience doesn't end when the buyer completes a transaction online; it extends to the delivery of the item to the customer's doorstep. That means customers will evaluate your brand based on its ability to pick, pack, ship and deliver products on time during the holidays.
