Distribution Centres

The Key To Building Efficient, And Scalable Fulfillment Network

Distribution Centres

Strategically managing multiple distribution centres is key to building a resilient, efficient, and scalable fulfillment network. Viare empowers you to orchestrate your operations across all sites ensuring stock is optimally placed, orders are routed intelligently, and fulfillment happens with speed and accuracy. 

With inventory distributed closer to customers and suppliers, you can reduce transit time, cut transportation costs, and respond faster to shifting demand. Viare gives you the flexibility to dynamically reallocate inventory, route orders to the best location, and keep every DC performing at its peak no matter how complex your network. 

Pick, Pack & Dispatch: Fast, Accurate, and Fully Digital 

Viare’s fulfillment workflow starts with smart order routing from the global order pool to your distribution centres. Orders are displayed on dynamic picklists which can be paper-based or digital based on your operation’s needs. 

With Viare’s digital picking, your team uses handheld devices to pick faster, more accurately, and with significantly fewer errors. The system supports wave picking, walk paths, and packing workflows that are tightly integrated with shipping carriers for automatic label generation minimizing admin and reducing bottlenecks. 

If an item can’t be found or picked, Viare’s Virtual Stock Write-Down automatically removes it from the order and routes it to another dispatch point so there is no need for manual workarounds. DCs can also access deeper visibility into order flow, helping you forecast labour and resources more precisely. 

Improved Inventory Management and Stock Placement 

Distribute stock intelligently across your network to meet local demand while avoiding overstock and understock situations. Viare helps you optimize space, control inventory movement, and align product availability with regional needs. 

Lower Transportation and Fulfillment Costs 

Locating DCs closer to your customers and suppliers reduces freight distances, lowers fuel and courier costs, and speeds up delivery. Viare’s smart routing engine ensures orders are fulfilled from the most cost-effective location every time. 

Better Customer Experience

Meet (and exceed) delivery expectations with faster, more accurate fulfillment. Provide live order tracking and better delivery options by shipping from the optimal DC while building trust and increasing customer loyalty. 

Operational Visibility and Data-Driven Planning 

Gain total visibility into every order and fulfillment stage. Use Viare’s analytics tools and data exports to monitor DC performance, spot emerging trends, and make better resourcing and inventory decisions with confidence.

Charles

Customer Service Manager

At the heart of everything we do lies the customer.”

Customer Service is the frontline team that deals with the most common customer queries, such as “Where’s my order?” They understand these pain points better than most other teams. This knowledge is crucial in understanding how the system handles delivery delays, missing items, refunds, and providing a unified view of customer orders. Their feedback is vital in shaping how the OMS communicates order updates, handles returns, and manages customer inquiries.

Lower customer support costs

Reduce cancelled orders and provide clear order updates to decrease customer inquiries and shorten resolution times.

Ease of System use

Enhancing fulfilment accuracy

Maintaining accurate, near-real-time inventory tracking to improve delivery reliability and fulfilment rates. Stock allocation at the time of pick reduces the administration of order flow by minimising the time spent searching for unavailable or out-of-stock items.

Rachael

Retail Operations Manager

I feel a personal connection to our brand reputation and my employees.”

Retail Operations including store and warehouse operations teams are responsible for executing fulfillment strategies. They need clear processes for pick, pack, ship, and return and especially when an OMS introduces changes like ship-from-store or click-and-collect. They must have input to assess what’s actually feasible in-store (team training and current barriers in existing systems e.g. ERP) and ensure the OMS design supports speed, accuracy and flexibility without overloading store teams at critical Peak selling times. 

Drive extra traffic in-store

Provide customers real-time stock visibility and flexible online through multiple pickup choices that drive increased foot traffic and sales. Take control of your inventory by choosing which products you want to include or exclude for Click & Collect.
