Even though players use some form of auto-replenishment system in their fulfilment warehouses, the level of automation varies vastly. Scale players have been able to automate only upto 50-60% of their replenishments, owing to local variations, supplier promotions, store feedback, and supplier MOV & MOQ requirements.
Incoming SKU shipments are subjected to 7 different kinds of quality checks in fulfilment centers - packaging, temperature, quantity per carton, expiry, grammage, variant & moisture.
