Shoes And Clothing

Industry pain points

Multiple SKUs and orders

In the footwear and apparel sector, numerous product categories and SKUs amplify sorting challenges, demanding more compartments. Apparel logistics, especially for color, size, and seasonal items, is recognized for its single-item management-like multi-frequency small-batch approach. This model emphasizes precise picking for clothing orders. As consumers seek greater personalization, the industry faces an escalating need for multi-batch, small-batch, and swift response demands. This compels significant enhancements in both inbound and outbound efficiency.
High return rate of shoes and clothing

The return rate of the footwear and clothing industry is higher compared to other industries, and the penetration of e-commerce further increases the return rate and the number of returned items, causing a surge in pressure on reverse logistics processing. This will inevitably affect the efficiency of reclassification and inventory turnover, resulting in warehouse backlog, increased costs, or stores being forced to lower prices for clearance.
Large fluctuations in order traffic

The order flow in the footwear and clothing industry fluctuates greatly, with significant changes in sorting operations. Small promotion operations are generally about 5 times the daily average, while large promotion operations are generally 20-40 times the daily average. During peak periods such as promotional seasons and seasonal updates, the surge in shipments and returns, as well as the instability of order entry and exit, can bring many uncertain factors. Different shipment volumes require more flexible picking modes, which requires efficient response from the picking and sorting system of shoe and clothing warehouses. At present, manual sorting not only has low sorting efficiency and high error rates, but also high labor costs, making it difficult to manage personnel flow and cope with this situation calmly.
Diversified types of omnichannel sales orders

In the footwear and apparel industry, omni-channel sales encompass various types, such as multi-level distribution, direct retail, online sales, online group buying, offline outlet, and custom order models. Different sales models have distinct order structures and types, necessitating a flexible sorting solution to accommodate the diverse order picking requirements for each type of order.
