The Value of Customer Experience in a Fulfillment Centre
For every shipping and logistics company, the order fulfillment process provides the most impact on a customer. The delivery and unboxing experience determines how the customer will feel about your service and ultimately build loyalty to your brand.
So, how does the fulfillment process impact the customer experience?
When one is running an online business or shipping products, the order fulfillment process is one of the areas that should never be ignored or overlooked. No matter how easy it is for shoppers to purchase on your website or how beautiful a product looks, the determining factor to growing your sales is the delivery experience.
Factors that drive a positive customer experience include fast shipping speeds, presentable and beautiful packaging, a pleasant handing over experience and a guarantee that the order is precise, intact and of quality.
It is important to build loyalty with your customer and partner base that will lead to repeat sales and the telling of a good brand story for your business.
What is Customer Experience?
This is how your customers ultimately feel about your business or service. It is the impression a customer has about you from pick to pack to shipping. A customer experience is the positive result of your order fulfillment journey.
This is how your customer was influenced from the time they visited your website, engaged with your brand on your social media platforms, purchased an item, checked out, and spoke to your customer service representatives.
The experience is a wholesome one that your business or brand must strive to achieve.
With the world heavily invested in the digital space, today’s online consumers are tech savvy and have high expectations.
