Use MetaPack to Deliver Multi-Channel Quickly, Efficiently and Within Budget
Whilst the benefits are significant to both the retailer and to the customer, remote dispatch concepts such as Direct Ship, Drop Ship, Supplier Direct, Direct to Customer and Direct from Store, have been traditionally regarded as complex and uneconomic to implement across a Multi-Channel platform.
As shoppers become more and more internet savvy however, Multi-Channel remote despatch becomes less of an exception and more of a rule -- retailers now need to introduce this function, not only to generate sales growth, but also to strengthen the brand in terms of customer expectation.
