This white paper details how retailers can raise gross margin return on inventory investment by connecting inventory pools across channels. It covers five execution areas where an OMS orchestrates fulfillment from stores and warehouses, reduces safety stock, and accelerates inventory turns. Real retailer case studies quantify revenue gains and markdown avoidance from these programs.

Key takeaways

Single view of stock enables real-time visibility across stores and eCommerce to increase sell-through.

Ship-from-store fulfills online orders from retail locations, reducing markdowns and warehouse safety stock.

Click and collect lets customers buy online and pick up in-store, monetizing stagnant inventory faster.

Ship-to-store moves warehouse stock to convenient pickup points while lowering freight costs.

Return anywhere processes reallocate returned goods to the next order, cutting reverse logistics expense.
