E-commerce vs Central warehousing
The guys and gals running central warehouses got it tough. Yeah, right, enter the world of e-commerce! No-one has to handle the extreme pressures like a manager of e-commerce. Serious variations of volume throughout the year, along with running a warehouse. Jeeez, we at Marketpeople admire you!
So, let’s go through it:
The 3 most important KPIs for e-commerce
As you well know, running an e-commerce business is labour intensive. Regardless of if you’ve already automated or not, essential to your performance is your staff. You’ve probably got three KPI’s very close to heart:
- Cost per parcel
- Cost composition
- Overall cost
We at Marketpeople totally get that. After all, we’ve been in logistics for a very long time (e-commerce, central warehousing, and transportation). And, we know, with the high staff turnover almost all warehouse types suffer from, keeping those three prevailing KPI’s in check is a challenge. The training costs alone are enough to make any business suffer.
In-house recruitment
Yeah, we know. Recruitment, right? Not sexy at all. Or should it be? Well, we know your HR team is ever so strapped for time. Is it another sit-down with the Union maybe? Or is it something else the head office wants this time? Anyhow, they have not got the time or tools to make it right, are we on to something? Honestly?
Let’s look to your floor supervisors; have they got their hands full with scheduling, productivity coaching, quality coaching, fending off sick leave, just being there for the staff? Yep, thought so…
Well, at least your marketing department is working day and night to provide you with the very best candidates right? Or are they maybe more focused on getting the business more customers… Or is it the new logo launching next year?
Marketpeople's design of services
Look, we get it. You do what every other Logistics Director, E-com Director, Regional Manager or Manager would do, you turn to the staffing agencies, right? That will work a charm. Or does it? Do you still have to rely on your team recruiting the right people?
