Meet OTIF Requirements with Consolidated Shipping Solutions

Discover how a consolidation program can help simplify shipping into big-box retailers.

By Supply Chain Xchange StaffOct 24, 2024

Supply Chain Xchange Staff

Meeting OTIF requirements is imperative when working with big-box retailers. Having to fill other partial loads can cause delays due to multi-stop deliveries. By working with a partner that embraces consolidation, multiple suppliers that all ship to the same big box retailer can be consolidated into the same load. This results in less handling and more direct shipping, lowering the risk of damaged goods and the costs associated with such damages. In addition to reducing costs and improving efficiency, this solution helps retailers reduce their carbon footprint. Join Frank Hurst, EVP of LTL at Echo Global Logistics, to discover how a consolidation program can help simplify shipping into big-box retailers.

CSCMP EDGE 2024 Ask the Experts: The E-commerce Hangover: Returns and Reverse Logistics

The surge in returns has led to what industry experts call the "e-commerce hangover"—a situation where companies struggle to manage the volume, complexity, and cost of product returns.

By Supply Chain Xchange StaffOct 22, 2024

Consumer behavior has drastically increased in the wake of the global shift toward e-commerce, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Online purchases have become the norm across multiple sectors. However, the ease and convenience of purchasing products online have led to a higher volume of returns. Many consumers over-order and send back unwanted items. This surge in returns has led to what industry experts call the "e-commerce hangover"—a situation where companies struggle to manage the volume, complexity, and cost of product returns. Retailers face increased costs related to transportation, labor, inventory management, and restocking. There are also added sustainability concerns, as returned items often lead to waste, even if the product is in perfect condition.
