"Consumer expectations for two-day fulfillment and cross-channel shopping put new demands for speed and complexity on store labor that can cut into profit margins," says Jerry Koch, director, corporate marketing and product management, Intelligrated. "By deploying the right labor management tools and more agile order-building processes, retailers can handle the in-store pickup and shipping demands of omnichannel commerce while maintaining control of labor effectiveness and costs."
