Retailers are under pressure to protect margins, reduce split shipments, and deliver faster without adding cost or complexity. This session explores how industry leaders are rewriting their fulfillment strategies by moving from fixed rules and after-the-fact analysis to a predictive, continuously optimized operating model.
You’ll hear real examples of how demand, labor, and inventory signals can be orchestrated daily and sometimes hourly to improve profitability while meeting elevated customer expectations.
