Retailers face the challenge of providing customers with optimal fulfillment options during checkout while simultaneously meeting their own business goals. Traditional systems may only offer limited or static fulfillment options, failing to adapt to real-time data or customer-specific values, such as minimizing costs, ensuring fast delivery, or maximizing inventory efficiency.
Retailers require an advanced fulfillment calculation engine that evaluates multiple variables to dynamically generate the best fulfillment plan tailored to both customer preferences and the retailer’s business needs.
- Retailers can configure the system to prioritize their unique goals, such as reducing shipping costs, balancing inventory usage across regions, minimizing environmental impact, or ensuring faster deliveries for premium customers. The engine generates the most efficient fulfillment plan aligned with these strategic objectives.
- Customers are presented with fulfillment choices that align with their preferences, such as same-day delivery, store pickup, or standard shipping, improving their shopping experience and driving conversions.
