Enhance Retail Fulfilment with Smart DC Solutions
Retail distribution centres (DCs) are essential to modern commerce, enabling seamless fulfilment for in-store and online orders. As more retailers adopt a unified commerce model, efficiency in DC operations becomes crucial for real-time inventory accuracy and fast order processing. Integrating barcode and RFID technologies, enterprise mobile computers (EMCs), thermal printing solutions, and AI-powered cloud systems helps streamline workflows from receiving to shipping, boosting visibility and operational efficiency across all sales channels.
