Peak Planning Support
Build robust plans supporting the operation to manage peak
The delivery of peak is the biggest test of the year for retailers’ fulfilment operations. Successful outcomes depend on detailed plans being set in place up to 18 months in advance of peak. Our consultants can support your logistics teams during the peak planning processes to give the operation the best chance to success.
We can add value to your peak planning by:
- Evaluating the capacity of the key automated and manual elements of the operation
- Building intake plans that consider inbound and storage capacity
- Sourcing short-term off-site storage and transport services
- Identifying improvement opportunities to release capacity
- Defining short-term solutions to mitigate capacity constraints
- Plan long-term developments to overcome capacity constraints
Mega shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday are now a staple a fixture of the UK retail calendar and such events drive dramatic surges in online order volumes. Many retailers have adapted to this relatively recent phenomenon by smoothing out demand through the staggering of promotions across the week or relaxing the customer service proposition. Mega-events when operations are pushed to the limit to ensure customers are satisfied that their orders have been fulfilled in an accurate and timely manner.
