Every year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday (BFCM) set new records for ecommerce sales. Customers worldwide and specifically in Australia have come to appreciate rapid delivery, instant-updates, hassle-free returns and impeccable fulfilment even in instances when the order volumes are soaring.
This peak season is no longer a period of running great promotions, as far as businesses are concerned. It is about being operationally powerful enough to get the thousands of orders completed in no time and right. And such is where most brands fail.
Long queues in warehouses, sluggish shipment, erroneous inventories, and overwhelmed work teams are likely to result in disappointed customers and missed income.
That is precisely why the brands have turned to Think Global Logistics (TGL) , a technologically advanced 3PL service that was created to respond to pressure during the peak season with accuracy.
In this article, we dissect the reasons behind why BFCM is the supreme test of your logistics operation and how TGL is able to not just get you through the rush, but also through it with confidence.
Understanding the BFCM Challenge
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are not just two singular shopping events any longer and are now a complete shopping season.
Retailers face:
- Massive spikes in order volume
- Reduced fulfilment timeframes
- Customer expectations for same-day/next-day delivery
- High return rates after the peak season
- Limited in-house warehouse space and staff
- Increased competition with brands offering faster shipping
If your fulfillment system is not robust, the pressure can break it.
This is why experienced 3PL partnering is no longer a may or may not thing, rather a competitive edge.
