The Latest From VL OMNI

VL's latest editorial, written by our Implementation Coordinator, Bob Starr, breaks down the basics of data automation and integration. What benefits and considerations do businesses need to consider before adopting an automation strategy? Ultimately, automation is an ongoing re-alignment of how your company gets work done. This isn’t something to run from, but rather, a mechanism for constantly adapting to the changing landscape of business operations and remaining competitive.

Split shipments are sometimes a tricky technical concept that’s hard to grasp for non-technical eCommerce folks, but those looking into split shipments for their business need to keep in mind the complexity it adds to the rest of their technology stack. Adding split shipments into your eCommerce strategy is a great way to add more options for your customers to increase their customer experience.

Latest From Partners And Industry
