Handle Christmas Orders Seamlessly with Boyd’s Inventory Management

November, 2018

The busiest season of the year is about to hit us. Pressure from consumers to handle Christmas orders seamlessly is at an all time high. With competition growing in every industry, customer service and an up-to-date inventory management system are key to winning that sale. And once you have it, it’s crucial you deliver (literally) – especially if you’ve guaranteed delivery before Christmas.

Here are four ways Boyd can help you handle Christmas orders to make the season a jolly one for you and your customers:

Handle Christmas Orders with Remote Inventory Monitoring

Avoid back orders, stock-outs, and lost sales with Boyd’s Remote Inventory Monitoring. Our state-of-the-art logistics software makes your inventory one hundred percent accessible and visible to you whenever you need it – day or night, 365 days a year. Log-in to check inventory, create orders, and generate reports from wherever you happen to be, so you never have to wonder if an item is in stock, and a customer is never left disappointed.

Handle Christmas Orders with Pick and Pack

One of our most valuable services, Pick and Pack manages the receiving, preparing, and shipping of inventory. When skids come in to Boyd with multiple products, we break them down and sort them by item, preparing them for individual shipments. When you receive an order from a customer for different products, we “pick and pack” the items for shipment to the customer on your behalf.

This includes proper packaging, shipment documentation, and arranging for the courier or driver to pick up the package for shipment. Usually all within 24 hours – so you can satisfy all of your customers, even those who leave shopping until the last minute.

Handle Christmas Orders with Kitting

If you sell your products wholesale, Kitting means we can prepare cartons for you and ship directly to the required destination(s). We will do a precise count of the specific products requested, package and shrinkwrap for safekeeping and shipment. This all done in our warehouse for maximum efficiency – so you can get your products on store shelves quickly.

Handle Christmas Orders with Cross-Docking

Take the hassle out of receiving shipments from your manufacturer with Cross-Docking, and save on storage and labour fees. If you do not have access to a loading dock that can handle a 53-foot transport trailer, we can off-load your inventory for you and place it into a staging area, ready for you to pick it up.

Whatever your business, Boyd can help you handle Christmas orders seamlessly with our various inventory management services. Our in-house experts can take care of the logistics for you, so you can continue focusing on sales and production, and let us worry about the inventory and shipping.
