Stor.ai is launching a picking app that will allow retailers to combine multiple picking strategies in fulfilling orders which will prove more time efficient and improve the customer experience.

By reducing pickers' average UPH (units picked per hour) through smart tools which boost awareness of item availability, and enabling real-time decisions informed by data, retailers can maximize the amount and range of orders processed over a given time period without increasing costs, according to a press release.

"Today's grocers must respond to a pressing industry challenge: processing an ever-increasing percentage of their orders digitally while maintaining profitability," Orlee Tal, stor.ai CEO, said in the release. "In the face of the rise of third-party e-commerce providers, such as Instacart, Shipt and others, the only way for grocers to maintain their independence, brand identities and ability to scale profitably is to develop their own e-commerce strategies capable of competing with these industry giants. The launch of stor.ai's new picking app is a key turning point in equipping grocers with the tools to navigate the inexorable rise of online shopping."
