Since COVID-19 hit, retailers have struggled with various areas of order processing from issues with sourcing products to new cleanliness restrictions and safety protocols implemented to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus. But one pain point sticks out: fulfillment.

Many have added curbside pickup and shipping orders from stores, while others have looked at alternative ways to fulfill online orders beyond the usual shipping carriers.
