Retailers now sell through:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"693\">\n<li data-section-id=\"13e85q0\" data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"611\">Ecommerce websites<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1l0a0i9\" data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"629\">Physical stores<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"fysy2i\" data-start=\"630\" data-end=\"643\">Mobile apps<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"wci1yj\" data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"665\">Online marketplaces<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1yw9x0i\" data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"693\">Social commerce platforms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"695\" data-end=\"1032\">Customers expect all these channels to work together seamlessly. According to <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">McKinsey &amp; Company<\/span><\/span>, omnichannel customers typically interact more frequently and spend more compared to single-channel buyers.

increasing pressure on retailers to automate routing decisions and fulfillment workflows efficiently.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"17ygaix\" data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1192\">What are omnichannel routing systems?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1306\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4dLwc6l\">Omnichannel<\/a> routing systems automatically decide how customer orders should be fulfilled across retail networks.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1396\">Instead of routing all orders through one warehouse, these systems dynamically evaluate:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1539\">\n<li data-section-id=\"2il22b\" data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1421\">Inventory availability<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"fzejvt\" data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1441\">Delivery

data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1726\">Why retailers need routing automation<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"1849\">Retail fulfillment complexity has increased significantly because inventory is now distributed across multiple locations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1851\" data-end=\"1886\">Retailers may fulfill orders using:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1989\">\n<li
