Are you ready for 2022
With the end of the year just around the corner, it becomes a must for everyone to plan how best to maximize their energy and performance, to be ready and responsive in 2022.
Considering that the market demand returns to a “hybrid” combination of online retail and “street” shopping and that the greatest concerns are addressed to the supply chains of raw materials, it becomes essential to try to plan in the best possible way and the operational planning of the new year in advance.
The experience gathered in the field has taught us that in similar situations it becomes important to have full control in four fundamental areas.
Planning
Plan a common operational strategy with the customer because it is essential to ensure that your supplier has an accurate forecast of the real need for material.
If planned and by mutual agreement, offering its customers stocks of tailor-made products is an intelligent service to always guarantee the availability of the material; by combining a dedicated stock management service, a truly virtuous planning process is completed.
With the particular types of requests coming from the market, it becomes essential to have a strong relationship with suppliers to ensure that your business is prepared for possible changes in consumer needs. Offering the Customer a “Call Off Plan” service to establish the materials they will need in a certain period of the year, agree on fixed prices and then keep the stock for call-off stocks when necessary, will ensure the peace of mind of knowing that the material is stored and ordered for a fixed period and at the best possible price.
Operational Strategies
It’s most important to re-evaluate the design and layout of the packaging area to ensure maximum efficiency within the warehouse. Productivity is lost when operators spend too much time commuting to search for equipment / materials to pack products.
At EVi, we make our experience available by sharing our ideas with you to transform packaging areas, increase process speed and reduce operating costs. An example? … could be placing filling systems on or on the side of the packing bench, thus reducing operator downtime and time spent moving when filling a box.
With a range of innovative products and solutions, we will be able to assist you and help your ideas become reality; it can be as simple as redesigning an e-commerce box or adapting your packaging process by creating a customized mobile workbench, equipped with all the necessary equipment to process and package a shipment in the best possible way !!!. Simplifying your operational strategies will mean having a greater ability to support customers even during “peak” times.
Staff Training
It’s essential to invest time in training for all staff within your business, including temporary staff. The training will avoid errors during packaging operations, increase the speed of the process and ensure operational peace of mind during periods of greatest demand.
Packaging Materials
With greater brand awareness and increasingly identified and personalized sales campaigns, it’s important that packaging materials correctly reflect the corporate image as it’s essential that the packaging protects the products to minimize returns and breakages. This combination will produce an excellent “shopping experience” for the consumer who, if satisfied, in addition to being pleasantly loyal, will become a powerful free advertising vehicle. Packaging that is too bulky, with the wrong shape or with a bad safety closure, will negatively impress the consumer.
Responding to the significant increase in demand for alternative packaging materials for sustainable packaging, EVi offers a line of 100% environmentally friendly products.
With increasing shipping volumes and consumers increasingly aware of the real impact that packaging produces on the environment, EVi products are the logical next step for a concrete, 100% environmentally friendly response “inside and outside” the package. EVi products promote a circular economy and help to respect the environment by offering a guarantee of closure and conservation of the entire packaging which, thus composed, among the many benefits, can also be disposed of in a single solution.
