The Midwest Manufacturing Leaders (MML) Group Presents…
Omnichannel for Manufacturers
Friday July 12th, 2019 7:15 am – 9:00 am
Once upon a time we went online and shared information. Then someone realized they can sell stuff around the country from an online store, and ecommerce was born. Ecommerce was supposed to kill local… after all, why would you care where the item shipped from? Then these smartphones showed up in everyone’s pockets and suddenly local mattered because we are buying on our phones and want our stuff immediately (or at least next day). Omnichannel is how companies use all of the assets in the supply chain (stores, warehouses, return-centers, trucks, drones) to fulfill your order quickly and at the lowest cost.
In this presentation you will learn:
- Who is using omnichannel
- How it really works
- Implications for the supply chain
