It’s hard to hit the nail on the head when it comes to pick and pack. Why is it so difficult to find a partner that knows what they are doing? Especially when it comes to fulfilling orders in a manner that keeps customers satisfied?
We get the frustration. We also get what high-quality means and understand what you’re looking for. So we’re here to share the top 3 secrets to successful pick and pack fulfillment.
Let’s jump right in.
Let’s be honest. No business is successful without appealing to something the customer wants and delivering it to them as guaranteed. Some businesses squeak by without focusing on customer satisfaction and needs, but they’re playing a risky game; one you really can’t afford to play.
Building a relationship with your customers means you care. You care to provide the best experience and you care to deliver what you promised. And, truly, that’s how it should always be.
So, to begin with, revamp your customer service. Let them know every question, comment, and concern will be answered however they choose to relay it; email, instant messaging, phone call, social media…you name it. They’ll point out weaknesses and ways to improve but they’ll also mention your attention to detail and care for perfection with every order processed.
This is a biggie. Your pick and pack fulfillment will be a disaster if you don’t have the best warehouse in the game.
That means your operation is organized and compartmentalized. Employees are professional and know where every piece of inventory belongs. Inventory is tracked via live system and always exactly where it needs to be. Orders are matched up with inventory efficiently and accurately. Advanced security systems ensure no product is lost or missing. Inventory with special needs have special storage options like temperature-controlled rooms.
Your system needs to run flawlessly. You NEED to be high touch. No questions asked. In other words, you provide such high-quality services that customers never have to experience wrong, lost, or damaged orders.
As it should be.
In order to deliver perfection, it’s a plausible idea that you have to embody perfection. As a business running a pick and pack fulfillment chain, every little thing matters. From the professionalism of your customer service reps to the quality of your warehouse to the hands that assemble customer orders.
A lot can happen between the time an order is received in the warehouse and when it gets shipped out to the customers. Thus, a lot can go wrong.
But it doesn’t have to.
One of the biggest secrets to successful pick and pack fulfillment is required quality checks. That means packages are only picked and packed by the most professional employees, and it means the hands that handle your customers’ orders before they leave the warehouse are careful and qualified.
When you ensure all the pieces are there, you can complete the puzzle successfully.
