Distribution centres (DCs) are the foundation of modern retail fulfilment. In a landscape defined by speed, precision, and customer expectations, DCs largely shape how quickly and accurately inventory flows across the entire retail network.
In unified commerce, the store has become more than just a point of sale—it's now a fulfilment hub, a service point, and a brand experience centre. Store teams play a critical role in retail transformation—but they can only succeed when empowered with timely data and adaptive technologies.
In our previous blogs, we explored how seamless shopping and swift fulfilment are reshaping retail. Driving these changes are key digital initiatives—like item-level tracking with RAIN RFID, Digital Product Passport (DPP), Digital Link, and Sunrise/ Ambition 2027 (2D barcodes)—that enable real-time visibility, compliance, and stronger customer trust. As retailers move toward unified commerce, these capabilities are no longer optional but essential to staying competitive.
As a retail DC operations manager, how do you imagine fulfilment evolving? With unified commerce blurring the line between in-store and online shopping, distribution centres (DCs) must keep pace with real-time inventory demands and enable faster fulfilment and seamless customer experiences. Smart DC solutions make this transformation possible.
Retailers today face rising customer expectations, mounting operational costs, and constant supply chain disruptions. To stay competitive, businesses must embrace technology to streamline operations and improve efficiency. Here are three significant challenges retailers face and how technology—powered by AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture)—is unlocking a more unified commerce experience.
As e-commerce and brick-and-mortar continue to merge, retailers face increasing complexities with omnichannel pricing strategies. Recent studies show that 85% of Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store (BOPIS) customers make additional purchases when picking up their orders in-store. Another common customer behaviour is showrooming, where customers visit stores to experience products first-hand before purchasing online. These demands require retailers to maintain competitive pricing across both online and offline stores to retain potential customers.
Say goodbye to the frustrations of unscannable barcodes.
In today's world, there is a great variety of media available to meet the growing demands of diverse printing applications.
Printer management is necessary for the proper functioning and completion of print jobs. Tasks such as printer configurations, condition monitoring, and troubleshooting are essential. However, managing printers, especially on a large shop floor or printer fleet, can be challenging.
