Fulfilment Services for eCommerce Retailers
Whistl provides tailored fulfilment services to growing multichannel retailers, wholesalers and brands.
The retail industry has evolved over the past two decades, with much of the change coming from developments in internet growth and eCommerce retailers.
With consumers’ power increasing, with access to more shopping platforms and buying choices than ever before. There are now multiple ways to find a solution to a purchasing need, retailers in both the 'physical' and 'digital' sense must hold a strong position to finalise that all-important customer sale.
Improving the customer journey
The product purchase path can have a number of hurdles. From gaining the consumer's attention with the right advertising and promotion, to managing product inventory to meet that demand, offering the right parcel delivery options, and managing the product return services to keep customers happy and business profitable. Creating a successful retail business model is only the beginning, as there is still the job of keeping them loyal with great customer service.
Whistl's extensive fulfilment service portfolio, allows us to support the demands of your customers, at the same time you focus on increasing sales. With solutions tailored to the needs of your retail business, we are the perfect e-commerce fulfilment partner to help you resolve your retail business challenges.
