Petco's Approach to Faster Shipping Without Added Costs

Network Optimization

The Challenge

Petco faced challenges optimizing its store-based fulfillment and achieving a cost-effective omnichannel strategy.

["Stores weren’t designed for high e-commerce order volumes.", "Manual analysis was too slow, and lack of real-time data hindered decision-making.", "Goal: Implement next-day ground shipping without overspending."]

The Solution

Intelligent Audit’s platform enabled Petco to optimize fulfillment strategies and reduce shipping costs.

["Analyzed data to determine store order capacity and redirected orders when limits were reached.", "Identified opportunities to use ground shipping when possible, defaulting to faster service only when needed.", "Simulated “what if” scenarios to evaluate fulfillment strategies, considering cost, delivery times, and efficiency."]

The Impact

Petco achieved faster deliveries without increasing costs by optimizing existing resources.

["Shortened transit times by leveraging existing stores, avoiding costly infrastructure investments.", "Monitored pickup volumes at each location to identify missed pickups and make real-time adjustments.", "Pinpointed optimal zip codes for new stores or upgrades, reducing shipping distances and speeding up deliveries."]
