Abstract
Customer demands on manufacturers and retailers are increasing relentlessly. Spurred by the Internet's “click it and get it” value proposition, a growing number of consumers and business buyers want customized products, convenient ordering, and rapid fulfillment.

Companies have mastered the challenges of speed, convenience, and reliability and are gaining competitive advantage.
