Powering Seamless Retail Fulfilment

Mark Channen

The rise of e-commerce, omnichannel shopping, and real-time customer expectations have shifted fulfilment from a backend function to a front-and-centre competitive advantage.
This blog explores how TrueCommerce supports online order fulfilment in retail, the role Dynavics plays in implementing and supporting this solution, and how together, we deliver the tools needed to optimise operations across the retail supply chain.
The Fulfilment Challenge in Modern Retail
Retailers today face increasing pressure to meet customer expectations for rapid delivery, transparent tracking, and seamless returns. With UK e-commerce sales projected to reach over £150 billion by 2025, and 65% of UK consumers now expect next-day delivery as standard, efficient fulfilment has become mission-critical.
Key challenges include:
- Managing multiple sales channels (e.g., web, marketplace, in-store)
- Handling diverse order types and shipping options
- Keeping inventory data accurate in real time
- Integrating logistics partners and warehouse operations
- Meeting complex compliance and EDI requirements
Retailers that fail to optimise these functions risk order delays, stockouts, poor customer reviews, and lost revenue.
What is TrueCommerce?
TrueCommerce is a cloud-based integration platform that connects retailers with trading partners, marketplaces, logistics providers, and internal systems like ERP and warehouse management. Its capabilities span:
- Electronic Data Interchange (EDI): Automating order, invoice, ASN, and return processes
- Marketplace Integration: Seamless connectivity with platforms like Amazon, eBay, and Wayfair
- Order Management: Centralising data across channels for real-time visibility
- Shipping & Logistics: Integrating with carriers for automated label printing, tracking, and compliance
- Inventory Synchronisation: Keeping stock data accurate across channels
In short, TrueCommerce acts as the conduit for retail supply chains, ensuring smooth, accurate, and scalable operations.
