Using a Pick and Pack service takes the stress out of processing your company’s orders and frees up your time to focus on other aspects of your business. A typical Pick and Pack service provider will select the products ordered by your customers, pack them accordingly and ship the order to the desired destination. So what should you look for in a reliable Pick and Pack service?
Warehouse Storage Space
Any Pick and Pack service worth its weight should have adequate warehousing space to store all your products. Before committing to a particular service provider, you’ll want piece of mind that your products will be stored in a safe, secure and suitable space to minimise any risk of damage. As with any end-to-end fulfilment service, a reputable company should have trained warehouse agents who are able to pick and pack your products safely and efficiently.
Optimized Freight Services
After your products are packed and ready to be shipped, you’ll want a guarantee that the products will arrive on time and undamaged. A service with an optimized freight ensures that your products are always on the move, which reduces distances, saves time and most importantly, saves your company money. Pick and Pack services that provide their own fleet are the most reliable providers as they save you time searching for third party transportation services and they reduce your liabilities.
Customer Relations
Perhaps the most important aspect of choosing a Pick and Pack service is customer relations. Very often, a customer’s only face to face experience of your company and produce is its delivery services. It’s therefore essential that the Pick and Pack service you choose have customer relations high on their agenda. It’s also worthwhile ensuring your service provider has all relevant technologies in place including email confirmation to notify customers when an order is shipped and inventory management systems so you know when your stock is running low.
