The built-in handles of our plastic totes allow for easy handoffs and maneuvering throughout retail aisles.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Partnered Delivery&nbsp;services<\/strong>&nbsp;such as&nbsp;Instacart&nbsp;began to turn profits for the first time ever&nbsp;in the past year.&nbsp;The shift in demand for grocery delivery created a gap in the market that retailers were not able to take on alone.&nbsp;Some of the main retailers&nbsp;using&nbsp;partnered delivery include&nbsp;ALDI and Target.&nbsp;With these third parties&nbsp;taking on the process of collecting and delivering&nbsp;grocery orders, retailers&nbsp;can&nbsp;focus their attention on&nbsp;other parts of the business such as&nbsp;inventory management.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main&nbsp;risks&nbsp;for retailers willing to&nbsp;bring in a third party&nbsp;is the lack of&nbsp;control, both from a customer service&nbsp;and branding perspective.&nbsp;&nbsp;When customers deal with the third party instead&nbsp;of&nbsp;the retailer,&nbsp;the retailer\u2019s&nbsp;brand vanishes&nbsp;from the interaction, thus devaluing&nbsp;it.&nbsp;To combat&nbsp;this lack of presence, Tosca&nbsp;can&nbsp;brand all e-commerce RPCs with the desired logo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Direct&nbsp;Delivery<\/strong>&nbsp;is an&nbsp;option offered&nbsp;by&nbsp;a few&nbsp;retailers,&nbsp;most notably&nbsp;Walmart&nbsp;and Amazon.&nbsp;Customers&nbsp;can&nbsp;have&nbsp;groceries delivered straight to their house,&nbsp;often on the same day the order is placed.&nbsp;Tosca&nbsp;e-commerce RPCs are stackable and designed to pick and store orders in tight areas while protecting&nbsp;customers&#8217;&nbsp;orders&nbsp;during&nbsp;delivery.&nbsp;Direct&nbsp;delivery differs from partnered&nbsp;delivery, as&nbsp;retailers&nbsp;manage the delivery process in-house.&nbsp;It requires significant resources to manage&nbsp;an&nbsp;e-commerce&nbsp;platform and&nbsp;build out infrastructure&nbsp;such as&nbsp;transportation&nbsp;and warehouse space.&nbsp;[3]&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Micro-Fulfillment Centers&nbsp;(MFCs)&nbsp;<\/strong>are quickly becoming the&nbsp;preferred&nbsp;model for retailers&nbsp;building out their e-commerce&nbsp;systems.&nbsp;Kroger&nbsp;has become&nbsp;one&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;main&nbsp;advocates&nbsp;of these systems, partnering with&nbsp;the&nbsp;online grocer Ocado to&nbsp;add sites&nbsp;across the US.&nbsp;These centers are&nbsp;specifically&nbsp;meant for&nbsp;fulfilling online purchases&nbsp;and are&nbsp;either&nbsp;attached to existing&nbsp;brick and mortar locations or&nbsp;they&nbsp;stand&nbsp;alone&nbsp;in urban areas.&nbsp;They are&nbsp;much smaller than the&nbsp;standard&nbsp;fulfillment center&nbsp;and when paired with high levels of automation and robotics&nbsp;at a large scale,&nbsp;MFCs&nbsp;are&nbsp;one of the most&nbsp;cost-effective&nbsp;models for grocery e-commerce.&nbsp;However,&nbsp;for automation&nbsp;to be implemented effectively,&nbsp;MFCs&nbsp;need containers that are&nbsp;standardized and durable, such as Tosca\u2019s reusable plastic totes.&nbsp;The main drawback&nbsp;to these centers is the added&nbsp;hassle of maintaining two&nbsp;separate inventories, however with&nbsp;built-in automation the process is quite&nbsp;streamlined.&nbsp;[4]&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omni-commerce is becoming the new normal in the&nbsp;grocery&nbsp;industry and&nbsp;whether&nbsp;you\u2019re a retailer or supplier,&nbsp;your customers are expecting the same thing:&nbsp;consistently&nbsp;high-quality&nbsp;products.&nbsp;&nbsp;Being able to provide that comes&nbsp;from having&nbsp;a strong operational&nbsp;structure that&nbsp;is efficient&nbsp;and&nbsp;ensures&nbsp;fresh,&nbsp;non-damaged products.&nbsp;All e-commerce&nbsp;fulfillment&nbsp;structures require a reusable plastic container solution that is durable enough to protect products throughout motion and storage, while maintaining the efficiency needed to sustain a&nbsp;high-volume&nbsp;operation.&nbsp;Tosca\u2019s line of&nbsp;e-commerce&nbsp;RPCs&nbsp;keep&nbsp;groceries safe throughout the picking&nbsp;process, and the space-saving design of our plastic totes and foldable crate optimizes space in retail settings&nbsp;where it\u2019s becoming more of a commodity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn More About the Benefits of Reusable Plastic Containers in
