With lockdowns and `stay at home' mandates, consumers never stopped shopping; they only changed the way they did. From personal care and electronics to grocery--shopping enthusiasts can shop for products and access the world's top brands right at their fingertips. But who wants to wait for a long time to receive their products ordered online? Today, customers expect their orders to reach them within two days or even lesser. To this end, emerging technologies are essentially finding their place on the maturity curve to reimagine e-commerce fulfillment. With the rise of automation, fulfillment bots are playing a vital role in improving the overall shipping time, streamlining inventory processes, and assisting associates in a variety of ways. As marketplaces are becoming increasingly interconnected, fulfillment teams are recognizing the immense potential of real-time data in demand planning, shipping execution processes, and more. Additionally, AR glasses with head-up displays hold tremendous value in guiding warehouse workers through everyday processes. ROPIS (reserve online, pick up in-store) is yet another tech trend catching the attention of retailers looking to take their fulfillment centers one step ahead. To help leaders navigate through the list of e-commerce fulfillment service companies, our panel comprising CEOs, CIOs, VCs, industry analysts, and the editorial board of Retail business review presents to you the top companies in this landscape. We took a deep dive into the market trends to narrow down the list of service companies that exhibit competence in delivering innovative and exceptional services. These enlisted service companies are transforming the e-commerce sector at the cloverleaf of various disruptive technologies. We hope this issue of Retail business review helps you build the partnership you and your organization need to foster an environment driven by efficient technology. Let us know your thoughts!
