What & How we do
Onboarding
How do you get started with Green Fulfilment?
Once you have chosen us as your fulfilment partner, we start the onboarding process with you. Our Onboarding Team consists of experts who know the fulfilment process inside and out. Not only would you get started with Green Fulfilment, but you can use this as an opportunity for you to get great insights from a logistics expert into your own business.
We will talk about
- Processes :- gives you an opportunity to look at some of your existing business practices around the logistics and supply chain side of your business.
- Product portfolio :- have you got products which are not active, or you may not need to ship to us?
- Stock holding :- are you over stocked on certain product lines? Do you want to do something about those lines before you ship them to us? You could put them on sale or would you like us to store them in overflow storage locations when they arrive knowing they are slow movers?
- Shipping Options :- have you been making use of various combinations of carriers? Are you making use of all the services of the carriers? Are you offering your end customer options of various shipping methods?
- Packaging :- what packaging are you using? Is it a good time to change it and maybe start using you own branded packaging? Or maybe you're using too much packaging and it can be reduced? Or maybe you have not explored the green options out there like a fully compostable mailing bag rather than your standard plastic mailbag?
- Technology :- would you like to explore options with us to make use of our technology and expertise for certain tasks that you are currently doing manually or spending too much time on?
