“Teamwork makes the dream work.” When it comes to making your customers’ holiday dreams come true, teaming up with the right fulfillment warehouse partner can make all the difference. Here’s a look at how Medallion Fulfillment & Logistics can help you successfully navigate the challenges of seasonal sales for your eCommerce business.
1. Handling sudden spikes in order volume
Many companies do as much as one-third of their annual sales during the holiday season. That requires a near-instantaneous ramp-up of operations to enable your company to capture all the additional business. A good fulfillment company can more easily pivot to accommodate sudden changes in demand.
2. Overcoming limited capacity
It’s expensive and time-consuming to temporarily increase workforce and warehouse space. Teaming up with a fulfillment company automatically extends both resources, requiring little to no change in your own facilities.
3. Optimizing inventory management.
If you lose a holiday sale due to lack of inventory, that sale is gone forever. Conversely, if your warehouse is overstocked, you’re already at a disadvantage going into the new year. Fulfillment warehouses have fine-tuned systems in place to make inventory management more accurate.
4. Ensuring carrier availability
Don’t let carriers hold your seasonal business hostage for higher rates. With a quality fulfillment company, you enjoy the benefits of their strong relationships with a wide range of carriers.
5. Processing returns
No one enjoys them, but post-holiday returns are a necessary evil. Why not let a fulfillment company handle the returns so you can focus on getting off to a good start in the new year?
