Retail Fulfilment Awards - Best online fulfilment initiative

This category is open to any retailer which fulfils orders received via digital channels and touchpoints. It seeks to identify differentiated service and ease of doing business in the order fulfilment process. We are looking also for innovation in the design of the fulfilment offer and the effective use of technology. While submissions may be by a retailer alone, we also welcome joint submissions by retailers and their fulfilment service partners. Partners may include technology and/or service partners, and we will recognise excellence in collaboration.
