Stord for Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Parcel and Last Mile Delivery:

Rather than employing basic carrier ‘rate shopping,’ Stord Parcel analyzes the unique characteristics of each package in real-time to determine the most efficient and cost-effective service level and delivery provider to meet expected delivery dates.

With Stord Parcel, your brand can:

• Reduce parcel expenditures while meeting delivery deadlines.
• Enhance customer satisfaction by meeting or exceeding delivery expectations.
• Optimize carrier selection for speed, cost, and accuracy through predictive, order-by-order decision-making.
• Enjoy competitive rates from multiple carriers without the complexity of vendor negotiations or operational challenges.

Stord for B2B:

Failing to meet partner fulfillment expectations can lead to significant delays, chargebacks, and dissatisfied customers. Stord offers tailored solutions for fulfillment, transportation, and technology, turning your supply chain into a strategic advantage.

Multichannel Inventory Management:

Brands operating across various DTC and B2B channels must prioritize inventory and accurately promise stock availability.

How It Benefits You:

• Reserve inventory based on sales channels or key accounts and prioritize fulfillment accordingly.
• Establish specific inventory levels by channel or SKU.
• Avoid unnecessary inventory cannibalization or SKU proliferation.
• Automatically define inventory shortage responses for orders based on the sales channel.
• Access comprehensive visibility of inventory by channel, showing availability for every SKU across all sales channels.
• Effortlessly update and launch new product versions without disrupting existing retailer integrations.
• Manage channel-specific product listings to comply with retailer requirements and optimize product version fulfillment.

Why This is Essential:

Multichannel brands struggle with inventory management across different platforms when relying on manual methods or multiple systems. Whether selling directly to consumers via your website, storefront, or Shopify, or through various retail partners (B2B), you understand the complexities of balancing satisfaction across the board. Additionally, managing retailer compliance requirements for dropshipping and replenishment can be both time-consuming and prone to errors.

Understanding Last-Mile Optimization:

Adapt as Needed: Eliminate uncertainties with last-mile optimization, which utilizes automated rules to intelligently adjust delivery methods for each order. Stord’s Order Management System (OMS) selects the appropriate shipping method and fulfillment center, ensuring timely delivery at the lowest cost for you and your customers. You maintain control while Stord’s software automatically determines the best parcel decisions for fulfilling each order.

Instead of relying on standard carrier rate shopping, Stord’s Last-Mile Optimization uses real-time evaluations of each package’s distinct attributes. The software autonomously chooses the most efficient and cost-effective service level and delivery provider to meet expected delivery dates.

Setting Desired Delivery Dates and Times:

Commit to providing your customers with specific delivery dates and honor them, or set timelines (e.g., within three days). Display delivery dates directly in your e-commerce store, backed by Stord One Commerce, allowing customers to choose their preferred delivery timelines while giving you confidence in your ability to adhere to them. With Desired Delivery Date automated workflows, you can establish Promise Delivery Dates for crucial orders, ensuring timely delivery of purchased products for your customers.
