This article analyzes the original news ‘ER2 Improves Ecommerce Fulfillment Nationwide with Descartes Solution’ and discusses its impact on the supply chain industry.
Descartes Systems Group recently announced that Arizona-based IT asset management company ER2 is using its Sellercloud™ solution to enhance ecommerce fulfillment by unifying inventory management, warehouse operations and shipping across eight facilities on a single platform. The solution has helped ER2 improve picking speed by approximately 75%, minimize cross-shipping errors and reduce shipping costs.
Ben Peters, Director of Innovation and Client Solutions at ER2, said: “As we expanded to eight warehouses to support growth across ecommerce, B2B and 3PL channels, managing listings, inventory and shipping across three separate platforms created fulfillment delays, manual errors and limited operational visibility. With the Descartes solution, we have a single platform that’s given us much greater consistency, accuracy and control over fulfillment across all locations, which has resulted in both enhanced customer service levels and cost-savings.”
ER2 has realized the following benefits by using the Descartes Sellercloud solution:
- Bin-controlled inventory and barcode validation minimized monthly cross-shipments caused by manual picking errors and disconnected systems
- Picking speed improved by 75% with guided picking workflows and structured pick paths that reduced redundant travel and manual verification
- Shipping costs decreased for approximately 40% of the company’s orders using intelligent routing logic to fulfill orders from the warehouse closest to the customer
Descartes Sellercloud is an inventory and order management platform that helps small and mid-market retailers, distributors and wholesalers with omnichannel ecommerce operations centralize the management of their catalog, inventory, orders, purchasing, fulfillment and shipping.
