Distribution centers (DCs) are the foundation of modern retail fulfillment. In a landscape defined by speed, precision, and customer expectations, DCs largely shape how quickly and accurately inventory flows across the entire retail network. As fulfillment complexity grows, there is no room for bottlenecks, blind spots, or outdated systems.
In unified commerce, the store has become more than just a point of sale—it's now a fulfillment hub, a service point, and a brand experience center. Store teams play a critical role in retail transformation—but they can only succeed when empowered with timely data and adaptive technologies. Empowering store execution means bridging the gap between business vision and day-to-day execution.
Building on our previous discussion of item-level tracking and digital transformation, this article examines how GS1 Digital Link and item-level tracking combine to connect physical products with rich digital data. Adopting these new standards helps retailers unify operations, improve traceability, and enhance customer engagement—key advantages in today’s competitive landscape.
In our previous blogs, we explored how seamless shopping and swift fulfillment are reshaping retail. Driving these changes are key digital initiatives—such as item-level tracking with RAIN RFID, Digital Product Passport (DPP), Digital Link, and Sunrise/ Ambition 2027 (2D barcodes)—that enable real-time visibility, reinforce compliance, and build stronger customer trust.
As a retail DC operations manager, how do you envision fulfillment evolving? With unified commerce blurring the lines between in-store and online shopping, distribution centers (DCs) must keep pace with real-time inventory demands and enable faster, seamless customer experiences.
Imagine finding the perfect pair of shoes online and checking the retailer’s app for availability. It shows they’re in stock at a nearby store, so you head over there, confident that your trip won’t be in vain.
In today’s fast-evolving retail landscape, data is the key to unlocking unified commerce. AI, cloud computing, and automation are transforming retail operations—and they all rely on accurate, real-time data. This is where AIDC technologies play a crucial role, enabling seamless data capture, automation triggers, and intelligent decision-making.
Today’s retailers confront rising customer expectations, escalating operational costs, and persistent supply chain disruptions. To stay competitive, businesses must embrace technology to streamline operations and improve efficiency.
As e-commerce and brick-and-mortar continue to merge, retailers face increasing complexities with omnichannel pricing strategies. Recent studies show that 85% of Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store (BOPIS) customers make additional purchases when picking up their orders in-store.
