Lack of additional sales channels
Manufacturers, distributors and retailers who work exclusively in the classic offline scheme are stymied by the impossibility of expansion without significant costs
High percentage of substitutions
Due to the lack of a tool for controlling the balance of goods and promptly updating the assortment for the customer, in 20% of orders it is necessary to make a replacement of goods. In turn, this leads to additional workload for both pickers and call-center
Inaccurate order picking
Lack of zone and control of order picking. The customer receives an incomplete order or some items are added to the order erroneously. This has a negative impact on the customer experience
