But treating e-commerce as a separate channel is now itself too old fashioned. Eg:
Growth of M-commerce & S-Commerce – interaction due to social media. ASOS – fashion store for „20 somethings“ started with sales from TV programmes, but now mainly use Facebook and Twitter to „talk“ about products, give fashion advice, what to wear for an occasion. Then have links how to buy. Twitter accounts to respond to customers within minutes.
Diesel: fashion brand – experimenting with system from „Tapestry“, shoppers browse in stores, scan 3D barcodes to look at more info (videos, celebraties blogs, etc) – retailers us his info to encourage the sale later on online. Stores becoming showrooms. Cheaper and easier to expand across the world. ASOS now biggest online fashion retailer in Australia, having spent almost nothing on marketing.
From some older retailers…
Justin King – MD of Sainsbury – believes that the mobile phone used in store will grow hugely, helping shoppers: eg inspire with recipes, manage your budget.
Philip Clarke, MD Tesco – most customers spend 50-60% of their spare time on mobile phones or Tablets. Statistics: 40% of people in UK have smart phones – expected to reach 90% by 2016. Always carry them with them – is the future store.
Christopher Norton – MD Amazon in UK – predicts that within a few years – 50% of all transactions will be happening online.
So we using a variety of ways to understand what retailers are selling, comparing brands, styles, prices, store locations, delivery costs, etc And retailers know that these “digital channels” influence store sales a huge amount.
In fact a new term is being used - “Omni-channel” – as well as “Multi–channel”. This is a reference to all channels being merged – all assisting each other with serving customers and adding to sales, rather than just separate ecom and retail channels.
This chart shows a forecast of online retail sales in Europe, 2012 to 2017.
My country – the UK – has the largest e-com market in Europe – with 10.4 % all sales by ecommerce
Growth in the UK is also about 10%, however the growth is more in the smaller countries, Italy, Spain – where the Compound Annual Growth Rate is 16-18%
They were also asked what capabilities did they offer to their customers.
Conclusions:
The implication is that there is a need to have
1 - Capable and compatible IT systems between the store and DC, and the
2 - Ability in the DC to offer a range of fulfilment options
Let’s think in a bit more detail about the different types of pressures on a DC that has to be able to fulfil orders in a modern multi-channel world. I am going to talk about 6 drivers affecting retailers at the moment:
This is most important feature of the Multi-channel DC. Existing manual or automated DCs are normally planned base on particular order types.
This graphic shows the possible range of orders that the Multi-channel DC may have to manage. And as it shows, they have different characteristics:
Go through the list….
CLICK
Another factor is that the range will vary through a year, a season, the week and even the day. Traditional DCs are designed to suit a certain types of orders – customers now want the flexibility to handle this range – and all with high efficiency.
Automation lasts for a long time. Further ahead than the business knows what the future will bring. So we are aware that we need to provide solutions that will remain productive whatever happens to the business model. Changes to the number of SKUs, the order sizes, the order processing speeds, and so on. So that you can get 20 years or more productive service out the automation investment.
The life of a product varies by industry. In pharmaceuticals, it can be many, many years. But retail is often about short life products, whether fashion, music, electronics, or homeware. The fashion sector is notorious, where products are designed and manufactured within a few weeks, and then on sale in a big way for just days. Only if they are a big hit will they be replenished. These sectors also produce huge numbers of SKUs, because usually there are some products left over, and the retailer needs to try other ways to sell them off. So some of the stock will hang around – perhaps with promotions or sales – but they can sit in the DC for months and even years.
Yet many DCs are designed around the ABC analysis – where different products are located in different areas of the DC depending on their speed of sales. If they are on sale for such a limited time, it can be impossible to know whether next week they will be a fast mover or a slow mover.
CLICK
For DCs with a big churn of SKUs, dynamic pick faces are the better option
Typical retail deliveries take time. They also rely on stock being held in the store. Pressure on space, and improving the quality of the displays means less stock on the shop floor. However traditional shops also often don’t have everything available. My size and colour is not there – or just there are many more SKUs on the web site than there is space for in the shop.
So stores will hold only 1 items per SKU, and want frequent, accurate and speedy replenishments. Customers want to order at the store, or online, and get it delivered quickly. Perhaps even today – before my evening out tonight. One option is to pick in the store itself, and have a taxi deliver. Alternatively – as the screenshot here – choose a delivery slot at your convenience - from Malaysian grocery delivery service. Offers 2 hour delivery slots.
CLICK
If speed is important – reduce the number of steps needed in the process
Returns are a fact of life now – with returns rates varying hugely by industry. The higher rates of return are again the challenging fashion industries, where buying online prevents trying the items on.
But returns are important too – the funnel graphic is implying that returns are good – will encourage repeat purchases from the site.
CLICK
Multi-channel will also increase returns over Bricks & Mortar retail – as products are bought with the opportunity to look at, try out, or put on the product.
DC technology can again help – by designing separately ways to handle returns. Or even integrate this into the whole system.
When delivering to stores, it is important to make the delivery as friendly to store staff as possible.
This is a planogram for a typical store
CLICK
Pick to suit the store planogram
Too many DCs are still highly manual – and costing too much as a result. This photo is from Namibia in Africa – but could be anywhere.
The point is that there are simple, standardized pieces of automation, that are not too expensive, and can make a big difference. Hence the electric bike. There are also new sophisticated solutions, that make a very big difference, and will give a good return on investment – the electric train.
I will talk about some examples of both of these later.

We are in the business of improving productivity and ergonomics.
Spend some time on this slide to explain the pros and cons of each
Mobile picking: Multi-channel = 2 star
OK. Cheap, so easily modified. But quickly inefficient if gets too large
Zone Routing: Multi-channel = 4 star
Ideal for larger orders – smaller no of SKUs. Single touch into despatch tote. Smaller orders can become difficult to handle – secondary sorting with put wall is helpful.
Efficiency requires ABC analysis – so best for mature businesses
Batch pick & sort: Multi-channel = 3 star
Good when many SKUs, or changing SKUs. Not ideal for small orders – as too many chutes required – or secndardy sortation
Batch pick & sequence: Multi-channel = 5 star
Step improvement over sortation, as a sequence is perfect for small and large orders. Also ideal for large numbers of SKUs.
Zone routing only better for larger orders and smaller nos of SKUs,.
SUMMARY
FFF is the Yellow Box
Infeed is optimized – batch picking
The FFF has the additional ability to buffer items in it – unlike a sorter
Reduces infeed invest cost and operating costs
Outfeed optimized as it is sequenced
This is a modern step forward in sorting. Allows the benefit of batch picking – but achieving a perfect sequence to packers.
Video of sequencing
So what is so interesting about sequencing_?
Goods to man systems all separate the picking from the consolidation processes
We shall also consider these separately
First – the dynamic technologies
Spend some time on these slides to explain the pros and cons of each
Zone routing conveyor – Multi-channel = 4 star
Danger for larger systems – too many totes flowing.
Pickers can get out of balance – waiting or overwork.
But one touch for larger orders, which is good.
Manual Consolidation – Multichannel = orange
Similar to above, but focussing on consolidating smaller orders in a put station, which is a second touch
Gives flexibility and resilience
Sortation – Multichannel = orange
Demands suitable product.
Pretty bad for store friendiness
Old technology
Allocate each order 1 or more totes or cartons.
Route to the different picking stations.
Depending on the order type – will affacte the route:
See graphics.
Works verz well for larger orders – depends on the conceyor, which can become a bottleneck
Picking all from carousel – over 100 in all
Look at data
Picking at 20,000 OL/h
Dynamic ASRS connected to infeed operators
Fulfilment factory – Multi-channel = 4.5 star
Best for small or a range of orders
Generally a 2 touch process
Important is the sequencing – with all the benefits that brings
Also can incorporate returns
Matrix – Multi-channel = 5 star
Ideal for all large and small order types
Can allow all benefits of sequencing, yet be resilient, and flexible
Similar to a sorter – conveyor feeds to pick/infeed stations
Returns can also be added
Products then sequenced to the packers
FFF benefits from being able to take batches – returns – full cartons – buffer for a period.
What is order consolidation for a dynamic system?
This can be more diffcult than it looks. It also can be a problem if we create bottlenecks, or single points of failure.
I will now look at these more dynamic options:
