These days many companies with e-commerce and physical shops already use a Ship From Store strategy to stimulate sales, but what exactly does this omni-channel sales strategy consist of and how can RAJA® help you?
Let’s imagine that right now you deliver your online orders from a single warehouse, your customer orders a TOP selling product online but it is out of stock online, however a shop close to your customer’s delivery address has stock.
Byimplementing a Ship From Store strategy you could serve your product to the customer from the closest shop, intelligently manage your global inventory, increase your sales and also reduce your delivery costs.
Imagine using your shops as small warehouses
Until now, online sales have generally been managed from an in-house or outsourced logistics warehouse. This offers advantages in terms of managing stock and storage capacity, but creates difficulties in delivery times and directly impacts distribution costs and sales margin.
“In an omni-channel sales strategy, the Ship from Store solution allows you to efficiently manage your shops’ stock to respond to online orders in a more agile way, and gain in customer satisfaction and profitability.“
Victor Sanchez, Ecommerce & Retail Business Manager at RAJA
Of course, moving to this new model means adopting technology changes
tointelligently allocate the order to the nearest shop and reduce costs and delivery times.
But what other challenges do shops face in transforming themselves into small stores to support the increased sales of the online channel?
- Lack of packaging storage space
- Need for training in packaging and picking solutions
- Minimising costs and delivery times..
