What Makes Apparel Fulfillment Different?

High SKU Counts

Apparel and footwear have high SKU counts due to the number of sizes, styles, and colors. Inventory and SKU management is essential for successful order fulfillment. a2b’s warehouse management system organizes SKUs for optimal storage and picking, using advanced slotting techniques to keep fast-moving products nearest the packing process. This helps shorten fulfillment time and lowers costs through efficiency gains.

Short Product Lifecycle

Fashion and footwear trends continuously change. Products are seasonal, demand fluctuates, and is subject to Influencers.

Apparel and footwear products are seasonal, with high-demand for only a few months. This also means that products have high-turn rates, and then end up in the warehouse for months on end, with little movement.

a2b works with our clients to move outdated inventory through bundling and sales.
