        Automate order processes and make your team more productive.

        During seasons of economic crisis, consumers’ purse strings tighten a bit more than usual. High inflation and unstable job markets make it critical for retailers to retain their loyal customers. And consumers aren’t the only ones hit with cost cuts—retailers and branded manufacturers have to “do more with less”.  

        With over 62% of brands being short staffed and 69% saying it's hard to retain the staff they currently have, branded manufactures must rely on their order management systems to maximize their limited resources. 

        While it may seem counterintuitive to invest in new technology during tough economic seasons, the reality is that retailers can’t afford to have the wrong technology in their stack.

        Why Brands Invest in an Order Management System

        Say goodbye to spreadsheets and hello to process automation.

        The average order process can include up to 14 steps. By manually processing up to 98% of all order processes, brands save time, money and improve overhead margins.  

        Reduce call center activities by at least 40%.

        Automating processes mean fewer errors. And fewer errors mean fewer customer inquiries. Let your customer service team focus on serving your customer well.  

         

        Save money on expensive transit costs.

        Route orders to the fulfillment location closest to the customer—whether that’s a distribution center or retail store. Consolidate shipments and improve margins by up to 9.2%.  

        Turn a costly margin killer into a cost savings and customer loyalty builder.  

        Automation reduces the number of returns due to errors and streamlines the returns process, including crediting funds back to the customer.
