8 Great Features You Need For Web Order Fulfillment

You won’t see many retailers refusing to be online, but you might see some retailers who haven’t figured out how to be online profitably. That difference between profit and loss often comes down to the retailer’s ability to fulfill their web orders efficiently. Web Order Fulfillment Software should have features that enable retailers to do what needs to be done as simply as possible.

These features are part of ChainDrive’s basics:

1. Fill Web orders from any combination of warehouse and/or store locations
2. Set conditions that will automatically pull from nearest location
3. Track all fulfillment requests, current status and location including in-transit
4. Apply rules to select items from locations with the most inventory and/or slowest rate of sales (forecasted weeks of supply)
5. Either consolidate item(s) at a centralized DC or direct ship from location, transfer requests can be initiated automatically
6. Provide your business with effective supply chain solutions
7. Simple warehouse orders management
8. Cross-channel carrier integration

These features are considered basic by the experienced retailers who helped determine what type of software would provide the solutions to pain points most retailers face with online sales. Other tools that could be useful in web order fulfillment software would handle external logistics, payment processing, 3rd party warehouse & distribution providers.

What Features Do YOU Need?

One size does not fit all, no matter what the tag says. That’s why Custom Development is a feature of the ChainDrive Integrated Retail Management Solution. Most of the software will be fine as it is, but sometimes a specific situation requires a specific solution that isn’t basic.

In those cases, the custom development team can create the features you need. They can do it easily and economically because they know the software inside and out (the designers lead the team) and they know how to “tweak” what almost works and build what works perfectly.

This flexibility and exclusive functionality means you get the features you need and your web order fulfillment is a source of profit.
