In my previous article, we considered how little has changed over the years in food shopping.

In general, grocers currently only have visibility into the final steps of the grocery ecosystem. Grocers now are looking to stretch themselves further upstream to better manage volatility in supply and match that with forecasted demand.

But it really comes down to the numbers and the need to achieve a certain level of profitability. Because of the hyper-competitive world of food sales, the margins on in-store grocery sales are very thin, even supported by a supply chain designed for those sales. Attempting to fulfill online orders with that same supply chain makes those margins disappear altogether. Clearly the status quo is not a sustainable long-term strategy.

Anything that creates a barrier between food producers and retailers and their customers is not good. Companies need strong customer feedback loops in place to gauge the expectations around service levels. They need order data to plan out and schedule order delivery windows. This will in turn create a better customer experience and will create efficiencies in the supply chain.
