For the European market, ModusLink also plans to launch a variety of fast and reliable order fulfillment services for the brand, ranging from resource planning to inventory management, in order to boost the speed at which products can reach the consumer. ModusLink expects to have this service up and running for Tile prior to the start of the upcoming holiday season.
