E-COMMERCE WORKSHOP
OPTIMISE YOUR LOGISTICS AND COME OUT OF THE CRISIS STRONGER
The Corona crisis has had a significant impact on e-commerce. But while some web shops have experienced a sharp drop in sales due to the increasing financial uncertainty of customers, record sales at others have pushed their supply chain to the limits. Regardless of their specific challenges, supply chain and logistics managers everywhere face the same difficult situation: having to make decisions that are necessary in order to secure operations now and which, simultaneously, readies their company for a time after the crisis. Langebæk's 'Agile E-Commerce Workshop' is an intensive consulting engagement designed to quickly identify concrete initiatives and solutions that can optimise operations in the short term and at the same time strengthen the company's supply chain for the future.
The consequences of the Corona crisis have been considerable, to say the least. Currently many online stores are struggling with the acute challenges posed by the virus and the resulting increase in online commerce in various parts of their operations, from delivery to product handling, order fulfilment and distribution. In many instances, it has negatively impacted both operating efficiency and customer experience. At the same time, the crisis has shown the need to think through the existing logistical set-up in the near future. Particularly focused on making logistics more resilient and improving the company's responsiveness in the event of new shocks to the system. This can be crucial for competitiveness in the future. In the long term, there may also be a need to look at the supply chain structure itself, both to prevent a recurrence of the current situation and because it may be necessary to adapt it to a new reality in which the existing global supply chains are no longer practical due to political, economic and market changes.
If you recognise one or more of the challenges outlined above, then our 'Agile E-commerce Workshop' may be relevant to your business. The workshop is a short, intensive consulting engagement, where the primary focus is on arriving at concrete solutions and initiatives that can be implemented in a short time without major investments and which quickly produce results. Typical themes include:
-
Optimise & Upgrade: Improve operations, e.g. through faster goods handling, better utilisation of storage capacity or more efficient picking & packing of orders.
-
Resilience & Responsiveness: Increase operational flexibility, e.g. through more efficient processes or better suited management tools.
-
Develop & Change: Adapt the supply chain, e.g. through better supplier collaboration, closer integration with forwarders, or change management.
During a workshop we will typically address both the short-term optimisation of the logistics operations and the long-term development of the supply chain. Most importantly, we work with you to define the specific programme so that it reflects your situation and priorities. Contact Anders Bartholin (Sweden) or Martin Schultz (Norway) if you are interested in an offer or just want to know a bit more.
