Meanwhile, a study by Bizrate Insights noted that Amazon was leading the digital grocery arena with 62% of US digital shoppers buying from the site.
“Retailers can manage inventory by placing purchase limits on high-demand products in-store and online, monitoring real-time inventory at the store level, and adjusting online inventory accordingly,” Sylvain Perrier, president and CEO of retail software company Mercatus previously said.
