USPS to Delivery Packages 7 days a week – 2014!

The following article located at Retail Online Integration mentions that the USPS is adding package delivery on Sundays during the holidays to meet expected growing demand.  This is definitely good news considering that industry followers are already dreading a repeat of last year’s missed shipping guarantees.
A strong warehouse fulfillment partner has many tools available to ensure that your order reaches its final destination on time during this 2014 holiday season – this includes not only the well-known small parcel carriers, but also what service combinations fit your carton size and configuration, your time line, and your budget.

Remember that one size does not fit all.  Talk to your fulfillment partner about your order composition, your holiday guarantees, and your project volume.  There may be a different solution that can improve your bottom line or your customer satisfaction – or both.

Port of Los Angeles 2014 Holiday Planning for Fulfillment Operations

The holiday season is rapidly approaching for 2014, and already there are concerns about potential delays routing imports through the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach.  The port is the nation’s biggest container hub.  This article posted on Bloomberg states that after ending the previous holiday season with too much merchandise stacked in warehouses, this year U.S. retailers face the opposite – they may not have enough.

Logistics planning is a key service that your third party fulfillment partner can provide.  Vision Consumer Products Fulfillment can provide expertise and system-driven milestone management services for monitoring your product, beginning with the source manufacturer all the way through to the fulfillment warehouse.

This management insight and insider knowledge is even more critical when potential delays are encountered as mentioned in the article.  Expediting product through the port and associated paperwork can translate into revenue either gained or lost.  It’s early November now – and never too late to have this conversation with your fulfillment warehouse.

Kitting and Assembly Services in Fulfillment

A common function in a warehouse fulfillment operation is Kitting and Assembly.  This typically involves master kitting, final assembly, disassembly, re-work, and more.  This can be a requirement to prepare product for sale/shipping, as well as in repurposing product inventory.

The best production services are those that are flexible and can easily switch between automation and manual solutions – thus matching the best approach with each situation.  In addition, a company that has the ability to find the similarities within dissimilar processes, can provide a greater return on investment in both situations.

One conversation with our insightful team will convince you of Vision’s ability to plan, streamline, and execute kitting and assembly services.  You will be amazed at our efficiency and flexibility.  Please contact us to discuss your project – we would love to present our ideas.
