Key takeawaysBOPIS — order online, pick up in store (click & collect)Ship-from-store — online orders fulfilled from store stockEndless aisle — in-store sale from warehouse stockCross-channel returns — buy online, return in store What omnichannel fulfilment is Omnichannel fulfilment means fulfilling orders from unified stock, regardless of the sales channel (physical store, own site, marketplace, B2B, phone). The customer gets a consistent experience, and you manage a single stock pool. Typical scenarios BOPIS — order online, pick up in store (click & collect) Ship-from-store — online orders fulfilled from store stock Endless aisle — in-store sale from warehouse stock Cross-channel returns — buy online, return in store Why it's hard without a system Each channel has its own stock and process → over-promises, fragmented stock, inconsistent experience. True omnichannel needs an OMS that unifies stock and orchestrates fulfilment.
