Preparing for increased demand

Setting up logistics #

Update warehouse stocks and book products for orders on time so that you don’t have to cancel orders because of stock shortages.
Perform an inventory to check the stock of your products. Make sure that all products are in stock and don’t have any defects.
Check if the delivery intervals are up to date using the Quality control report. You can set up actual delivery terms in the logistics settings to improve your metrics for cancellations, overdue shipments, and deliveries. If you deliver products by non-integrated services, check with the carrier for actual delivery geography.
Involve more employees on peak days or set maximum intervals for order packaging.

Follow packaging and labeling requirements to avoid misgradings.

Prepare shipments according to the carrier’s requirements. If you have multiple shipping methods connected, please check which method and which shipping service you need to use when sending your orders.
Put a label on the shipment that reads “Order assembled and packaged videorecorded”. The label can be a sticker or a piece of paper taped to the package. This may help you avoid unjustified returns from customers.

If you use integrated delivery services, make sure to ship orders at the rates specified in your contract with the carrier to maintain delivery terms and quality.
Switch to daily shipments so that customers don’t cancel orders because of long delivery.
