The year always seems to end on a right note, with a troop of festivals and holidays heading our way, one after the other. Whether it is the Black Friday sale in the States or the Diwali offers in India, these celebrations aren’t complete without shopping, and the year end shopping brings about sales. These sales demand products suited for winters and an inventory that remains ever ready to serve your customers. The role of a smooth running and a flexible supply chain is really tested around this time. The capability of your supply chain to adapt and optimise itself in accordance to the fluctuating and yet constantly rising demand makes or breaks the relationship of your business with the customers, who remain eager to consume at this time of the year while they expectedly wait for products to arrive. Flashing an out of stock message to your consumers or showcasing products from the last season can make your business out to be an eyesore. This becomes especially risky since the competition is offering several flashy options to your loyal customers. This is where the functionality of your supply chain helps your company to stay on top of its game.
Low Costs
An efficient and optimised supply chain removes space for any glitches or errors, saving on your reference costs. With your logistics handled by a software, the PODs, LRs, invoices and Way Bills are generated digitally as well, reducing all the costs incurred by paper and printing mechanisms, which may seem small at first but pile up to amount to a mammoth. These saved costs can then perhaps allow your pricing model to provide more appealing deals for your loyal customers by squeezing in that extra 5% off.
Right Place, Right Time
The holiday season isn’t exclusive for any one sector, let alone any one business. Hence the rush to make the pieces fall into place is omnipresent. Every vendor, every supplier, and every producer is in a constant rush to get the job done. The warehouses keep brimming with inventory for months. In times like these, proper instructions have a tendency to get lost, and the problem of personnel unavailability springs up! The visibility of your supply chain helps you to clear all the clutter and make room for transparent and succinct communication, allowing all the stakeholders of your supply chain to remain on the same page, only by a few clicks. This procedure ensures that all human or organisational mistakes are avoided completely, guaranteeing that your product is present where it needs to be during the holiday season, bagging those surefire sales.
Beat The Traffic
Everyone is in a rush to meet their families for the holidays. Such a bustle brings about a possibility where too many people are trying to squeeze in through the bottleneck, leading to external troubles such as the roadblocks and mishaps that might have an impact on your delivery. A Supply Chain Logistics Software comes handy in here to account for any such unforeseen circumstances and makes up for it via road rerouting and forecasting. The truckers involved in your supply chain are now equipped to beat the foggy winter roads and the early creeping nights.
Holidays Are For Everyone!
While constantly putting all the sweat and tears into your business, it is easy to forget that the holidays are supposed to be a celebratory time for you as well, along with all those other stakeholders of your supply chain. Right from your Trucking Partners and Drivers to the front end management, all of them look forward to spending a considerable portion of this time with their families and loved ones. Hence having an inventory lineup ready before hand in the most time efficient manner ensures that every person involved in the logistical process is happy as they get to share their joy too. It also leads to the boost of their morale and productivity once they come back to work in the new year, with cheer and enthusiasm.
Still Going Strong?
The holiday season throws tasks at you at an unmatched pace, where you find yourself constantly dealing with one decision or the other. With your mind ceaselessly occupied and your surroundings invariably hustling, it becomes important for you to take a step back and process whether your decisions are proving to be beneficial and vital for your business at this crucial peak time. Software analytics of your supply chain act as an indicator for you to see where the logistics of your business are going, because wherever they go, they take the whole venture along with them. Analytics can help you track personnel performance in such a busy time whilst having the productivity of your supply chain logistics mapped before you in a chart.
Holidays remain the season of giving, sharing and making memories. The consumers definitely carry their experience of shopping with them, whilst they spread around the word amongst their friends and families. It remains paramount for ventures to inculcate traditions of providing exceptional readiness and service on their part to the loyal customers, who will then flock to the stores every year.
