Solutions: Omnichannel Fulfillment

Omnichannel fulfillment solutions & integration services

Order fulfillment requirements will continue to change at a rapid pace. Omnichannel consumers expect fast, flexible order fulfillment, anytime, anywhere, adding complexity of multiple channels and additional strain on distribution operations and fulfillment centers. FORTNA can help transform omnichannel fulfillment operations to handle increasing requirements for speed, accuracy and flexibility.

FORTNA designs and delivers solutions that accelerate omnichannel fulfillment capabilities by:

Improving business agility

Flexibility to pivot based on shifting business landscape and changing order profiles, FORTNA will optimize operations across multiple channels with best-fit technologies and intelligent software.

Increasing responsiveness

Amazon has raised the bar for fast and accurate order fulfillment. Customers expect immediate availability of inventory, regardless of where it sits in the network. FORTNA will help design your omnichannel operations for responsiveness, improving the shopping experience for your customers.

Maximizing inventory efficiency

Leverage a single pool of inventory for the optimal fulfillment location and method. FORTNA solutions are designed to locate inventory and fulfill orders from the most advantageous node in the network, resulting in reduced inventory, increased sales and increased working capital.

Leverage technology to address labor changes

Labor challenges, such as absenteeism, high turnover and competition for workers make it harder for distribution operations to meet growing performance expectations. The Fortna Technology Assessment can help increase efficiency and drive growth and profitability.

Technology Assessment

Leveraging omnichannel operations for increased business resilience

Omnichannel fulfillment is a distribution strategy that fulfills customer orders no matter the channel the customer uses to order. Instead of inventory being earmarked for a specific channel, the channel and inventory are streamlined and optimized to fulfill and deliver to all incoming orders.

FORTNA helps companies transform distribution for increased resilience and agility by:

Driving increased flexibility and agility in their networks
Digitizing operations for increased visibility to real-time data and insights
Developing new capabilities and leveraging technologies to increase competitive advantage
