Inospace Fulfilment could help your business navigate the upcoming busy season

As we approach the end of 2023, businesses are preparing for the crucial period leading up to December. The 1st of September marks the final push to drive sales and optimise stock levels before the December rush.

This year has presented numerous challenges for businesses of all sizes, including interest rate increases, rising costs, and ongoing issues with load-shedding.

However, despite these obstacles, we have observed a rise in new businesses relocating to our parks. These businesses either outgrew their current space or are new entrepreneurs embarking on their business journey. It serves as a constant reminder that South African business owners have the ability to operate even during the toughest times.

At Inospace, we value and understand this resilience, which is why we have developed solutions to support our clients. These solutions range from load-shedding mitigation plans at select buildings to introducing new products, such as our latest fulfilment offering.

Our fulfilment service is specifically designed to assist SMEs in scaling their distribution needs, allowing them to focus on selling while we handle their pick & pack operations. The online sector has experienced significant growth in South Africa following the years of COVID-19. As a result, many consumers are now more inclined to make purchases through websites or applications, as it saves them time and often proves to be more cost-effective by eliminating expensive retail costs.

We have already witnessed a growing number of clients signing up for our fulfilment service in anticipation of the peak December demand, including events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

The question remains; can Inospace help your business during the upcoming busy season?

If your business faces any of these challenges, outsourcing your fulfilment might be advantageous:

• You’re overwhelmed by inventory management; you don’t know stock counts or what the demand is, and the orders are coming in quick and fast.
• Money is leaving your pocket, and you don’t know why (could be expensive packaging, couriers, storage, personnel).
• You’re getting feedback from customers that reflects dissatisfaction with long wait times.
• You can’t find a reliable courier as peak season demand has their capabilities stretched thin.
• You feel like you’ve become a packer and shipper, not a business owner.

How Inospace's fulfilment and outsourced warehousing can solve these problems:

• You can automate your stock management process through our advanced warehouse management system and receive information in real-time with an easy-use online platform.
• We streamline processes to reduce costs to essential components while retaining your quality standards, eliminating unexpected expenses. Also, our reasonably priced starter pack allows you to test our services without breaking the bank.
• Our reliable team of logistics specialists, boasting 15+ years of experience, ensures precise delivery of your products to customers.
• Even during peak seasons, we have a dedicated network of trustworthy shippers.
• By outsourcing your fulfilment, you not only save money but also regain valuable time, which you can reinvest in growing your business.
