Fulfillment Center KPIs You Should Know

Fulfillment Center KPIs You Should Know

Fulfillment Center

The best fulfillment center is one that can match their work to your company’s needs. Basic, “industry standard” services do suffice in some cases. But not when your reputation depends on overtly impressing customers. Or when your business volumes can fluctuate significantly. Or when your products require specialized storage or handling.

 

What is most important differs with every company, and the metrics you use to monitor fulfillment performance have to reflect that. Otherwise, they’re just numbers that do you little good. Only you can determine what specific services and performance levels are acceptable or desirable. That said, there are certain fulfillment center metrics you should know in order to get a true and full picture.

 


Assess Your Current Fulfillment Center Now


What should you measure?

Some critical fulfillment KPIs are easily measurable, whether you want to meet or exceed industry averages:

  • Call answering speed (at USA, that’s 20 seconds or less)
  • Abandoned call rate, which indicates potentially lost sales (at USA, it’s a mere 1.5%)
  • Product and data security (at USA, our policies and protocols are comprehensive and stringent, protecting clients and their customers against both physical and digital losses)
  • Order accuracy, which can lead to expensive returns, brand damage, and customer flight (at USA we’re nearly perfect at 99.92%)
  • Faster-than-expected deliveries

 

Some fulfillment KPIs are not so easy to quantify, yet they can dramatically impact overall fulfillment performance, sales revenue, brand reputation, and customer loyalty. Thanks to USA’s high touch business philosophy, our clients and their customers always enjoy these advantages:

  • Personable, US-based call center professionals
  • Thorough training and value-added services that enable us to upsell and actively assist customers in ways that increase sales as well as satisfaction
  • Packaging options and advice that ensures customers are as impressed with their package as they are with your products
  • 24/7 access to custom-tailored tracking and reporting aligned with your KPIs
  • 100% call recording, to ensure brand consistency and continuous improvement
