Ship from Store
Ship from Store: reveal hidden stock to online buyers
Turn store inventory into a competitive advantage by implementing Ship-from-Store. Real-time and accurate inventory across your entire network increases conversions on every channel and gives customers the flexibility they expect.
Why ship-from-store just makes sense
With intelligent orchestration to avoid overwhelming store teams and inefficient shipping, ship-from-store delivers immediate revenue growth while protecting margins
Maximize stock availability
Unlocking dormant inventory helps maximize revenue – more product available to your customer without investing any additional working capital in inventory.
ba&sh ships over 20% of ecommerce orders from stores, generating 10% incremental sales.
Faster delivery times
Shipping from the nearest store can significantly reduces transit times compared to regional or even overseas warehouses.
By leveraging local inventory, Petit Bateau cut UK delivery windows from 6 to 2 days, significantly boosting customer satisfaction and driving repeat purchases for the brand.
Reduce import duties
Prioritizing in-country fulfillment is essential to mitigate cross-border costs, particularly in unpredictable international markets.
Jacadi uses local stores to fulfill online orders for UK customers, significantly reducing import duties and VAT on shipments from France to preserve margins and simplify complex customs handling.
By unifying all its stock points Monsoon stores are now in a position to ship a product as soon as the item becomes unavailable online, – increasing the number of items available for sale. As a result, more than £1.4million of sales were generated through Ship from Store in the first month following activation of OneStock’s Order Management System!
How it works
Everything you need for profitable revenue growth through ship-from-store
Real-time unified inventory
OneStock provides a single source of truth for inventory across all locations but importantly, custom inventory views can be figured to determine which store stock is exposed to which channels and markets, ensuring you stay in control of your business.
Intelligent order orchestration
When a customer places an order it is automatically routed to the optimal fulfillment location using more than 200 configurable business rules. You’re in control of the balance of delivery speed, cost, inventory health, and store capacity and AI-powered configuration means you can continually fine-tune that balance without needing developers to make code changes.
Competitive allocation
Push new orders to all eligible stores simultaneously. The first store to claim the order wins, creating a gamified experience that boosts engagement and means you can better handle high volumes during peak seasons. You define what ‘eligible stores’ means based on store performance, proximity or any other variable.
Integrated store app your teams will love
Empower store associates with an intuitive mobile app guiding them through the claiming, pick, pack, and ship workflows. The consumer-like interface requires minimal training. Notifications, barcode scanning and label printing streamline fulfillment without the need for complex warehouse software.
Carrier network integration
Native integration with more than 40 (and counting) carrier connectors enables on-demand shipping label generation. Store associates select the carrier based on pre-defined rules and live availability, then print return labels automatically or on request, all from the fulfillment app without switching tools. Seamless returns orchestration completes the cycle.
Automated capacity management
Configure rules to manage the order volumes each store can process in a day. Allocate based on store grade, on-time rate, current workload, or capacity. This prevents stores becoming overwhelmed with online orders to deal with while at the same time ensuring you’re making the most ambitious promises to customers.
