    Best Buy's Modernized Supply Chain Network

    Feb. 27, 2020
    To compete in today’s fast-paced e-commerce environment, Best Buy is revolutionizing its supply chain network, creating logistical efficiencies that seemed impossible in the past.

    Best Buy is a worldwide, omnichannel electronics retailer enriching the lives of its customers through technology. A few years ago, Best Buy was faced with historic challenges due to increased competition from e-commerce giants. In response to today's ever-evolving retail landscape and consumer demands, Best Buy is overhauling its omnichannel operations and supply chain network.

    The company implemented eight AutoStore systems with 840,000 bin locations and over 1,000 robots. Best Buy can now serve customers better by offering free next-day delivery to 50,000,000 people and optimized store replenishment.

    The result is better inventory management, increased order accuracy, improved customer service, and an overall reduction in supply chain costs. Watch the case study video to learn more.
