With the vigorous development of e-commerce, the annual 618 promotion has become a carnival for consumers. Significantly different from previous years, this year, major mainstream e-commerce platforms have abandoned the pre-sale model and directly carried out promotions in the form of spots, which has greatly improved the shopping experience of consumers. However, behind this, merchants need to face a serious warehousing challenge.

01 Warehouse upgrade challenges

Due to the cancellation of the pre-sale, merchants need to prepare a large amount of spot inventory in advance to meet the order demand during the big promotion. This requires merchants to make more detailed planning and preparation in terms of storage space, goods management, inventory management, etc. With the advent of the big promotion, orders are pouring in like a tide, and the test of the warehousing and logistics system will be more severe.

02 Logistics timeliness test

In this era where speed is king, consumers are becoming more and more stringent in terms of delivery timeliness. Especially during the big promotion period, merchants must ensure that the goods can be sent quickly and accurately to win the trust and satisfaction of consumers.

03Cost and efficiency challenges

In terms of warehousing and logistics, merchants not only have to face the pressure of cost control, but also pursue higher efficiency. How to reduce storage rent, labor and logistics costs, while improving the efficiency of order processing, picking and distribution, has become a problem that merchants need to think deeply about while meeting the demand for big promotions.

04Improving the service experience is crucial

Merchants need to reasonably plan their warehousing space, optimize the return and exchange processing process, ensure the efficient handling and classification of returned goods, and speed up the processing of returned goods to improve inventory turnover, ensure the smooth operation of warehouses, and bring consumers a good shopping experience.
