Borrowed infrastructure - By: Brigette Federico

Warehousing, order fulfilment and logistics are essential hard skills to master for any business that has physical products to sell and deliver. Seamless order execution is frequently one of the defining characteristics of a successful business.

So many transactions carried out by both businesses and individuals are effectively faceless transactions over the internet where the only driving factors that influence supplier selection are price and reputation. Within reason, variations in the first of these two characteristics will often be second in a list of priorities behind the latter. Initial assessment of reputation may be based upon knowledge of a particular brand identity or through a recommendation but this will rapidly be replaced by firsthand experience of a delivery completed well or poorly.

Essentially, selling products online or through any form of delivery service requires top class order fulfilment to maximise your opportunities for repeat business. As the common saying goes, you only get one opportunity to make a first impression.

For many businesses, on-line and mail order trading is simply a minor modification to an existing goods handling infrastructure, for many other businesses, the need to have a presence in the on-line world poses a number of new operational challenges. At ILG we specialise in providing order fulfilment, warehousing and logistics solutions for businesses of all sizes. We are experts in this field and use leading technology solutions and adopt best practices to ensure that our clients (your businesses) achieve excellent levels of customer satisfaction. Our service enables you to tap into the type of stock management and order fulfilment infrastructure that organisations have to invest thousands of pounds to achieve.

Our services also benefit from group rates on shipping and courier services. This means you have access to the financial strength of our group rather than your own, potentially more modest influence.
