Click & Collect logistics challenges in shoe retail
The shoe retail industry is increasingly adopting Click & Collect services, with major retailers like Deichmann offering the option for customers to pay online and pick up items in-store. While this provides speed and convenience for consumers, it forces retailers to integrate complex logistics processes into sales areas not originally designed for them.
Operational challenges often arise from organizational rather than technical failures. Common issues include orders being processed via email or printouts, inefficient picking during customer service hours, and poor documentation leading to lost items. These inefficiencies can block stock from being available for sale and reduce time available for customer consultation.
Effective management requires precise inventory tracking at the variant level—including model, color, and size—to prevent discrepancies between online availability and physical store stock. COSYS offers a modular retail management platform designed to integrate these steps, including order acceptance, picking, and customer notification, to ensure data synchronization between ERP systems and webshops.
