(prHWY.com) October 25, 2012 - Indianapolis, IN -- Indianapolis, Indiana (October 25, 2012) - Leading truck freight and transport company Integrated Distribution Service (IDS) is offering to help retailers keep up to the holiday order fulfillment rush with their comprehensive services. They provide intermodal, transportation, and supply chain management solutions to assist companies in prompt and efficient order processing and delivery.
According to a recent survey by the National Retail Federation for Shop.org, 51.8% of consumers will shop online this holiday season. The results are up from 46.7% of the previous year. Another survey by cloud infrastructure provider Rackspace Hosting indicates that traditional and online retailers are strengthening their IT operations to handle an expected deluge of online orders starting late November.
With the expectation that more people will order products online during the upcoming holidays, retailers must ensure that there are enough stocks to cater their customers' orders, and that the items are delivered as soon as possible. Integrated Distribution Service can streamline fulfillment processes through their intermodal transport expertise.
Intermodal transport uses different modes to deliver shipments at the soonest possible time while minimizing overhead expenses. This kind of service cuts freight costs and helps maintain a sustainable chain of supply.
The team at IDS takes pride in their specialized processes that allow for handling sudden increases in orders without disrupting the system. For instance, they can increase space and/or ramp up staffing during peak periods in order to make sure that products are delivered by truck freight and other transport modes promptly.
