It’s no surprise why providers want to look like they offer cloud-based, packaged products. The benefits are significant, especially when it comes to cost, implementation, and scalability.

That said, I thought it would be beneficial to offer a few questions to ask your potential provider to see if they are actually in the cloud AND offer a packed, not a custom-built product. The bottom line – if it is a packaged product it can be delivered in the cloud, if it is custom built, it cannot.

But sometimes things aren’t always articulated clearly for everyone involved. In that case – ask these questions and you’ll be sure to get your answer.

1. Is this a cloud solution or hosted solution?

Contrary to popular opinion hosted does not mean cloud.  The provider could be hosting one-off code based solutions per customer. The very next question should be, “is this custom built?” If so, it is not a cloud-based product.

2. How quickly can I complete implementation?

If the provider does not give you a response that is quick – such as a matter of days or weeks, it is likely a custom build product and you’re looking at a very expensive, timely project.

3. Will my solution be able to be updated regularly, without downtime and without additional costs?

If the provider answers no, their solution is not cloud-based.

Don’t hesitate to ask these questions. It is important you know what you are buying and do not caught up in a more expensive and timely mobile project than intended.

Thanks for checking in!

3PLs often ask themselves, is serving these customers worth the risk?

The answer lies in the ability to see where the item is at each step in the supply chain. This becomes challenging specifically with high-end merchandise because these products are typically distributed internationally, being transported from air to sea to the ground.

By automating the supply chain with mobile software, retailers are able to track each item through the entire distribution process with real-time data in a cloud environment – helping to improve order accuracy and operational efficiency. Mobile software also helps retailers eliminate OS&Ds, cut paper-processing costs, and improve revenue cycles.

The competition in the high-end retail space is fierce. Ensuring the “perfect” order through an automated supply chain is a cost-effective way to serve these customers without risking a loss in profit, giving your business a competitive edge.

Thanks,

Mike

The study revealed that 2012 will be a very important year for improving customer service. Nearly 67 percent of companies ranked customer satisfaction as the top strategic initiative for 2012 and, similarly, 82 percent said customer service strategies is a top priority this year.

Retailers have also indicated that top strategic initiatives for 2012 will include ecommerce, store and field operations, supply chain and human capital, among others.

Customer service is an extremely important aspect of every business and if not taken seriously, can have serious effects on the success of a company. I am glad to see that more retailers are making customer service a top priority.

We work with leading retailers across the country to help improve customer service, among many other things. Staples – the second largest Internet retailer in the world – has been recognized every year since 2005 by J.D. Powers and Associates for providing an “Outstanding Customer Service Experience,” due in part to the company’s ability to ensure order perfection and superior customer satisfaction, through technology such as Airclic’s Order Perform product.

2) Reduce Mistakes

Keep your customers happy by ensuring that they get what they ordered, when they ordered it each and every time. The cost of credits and lost items can really add up, but the cost of a customer is tremendous. Make sure you’re mistake-free with functionalities such as proof of delivery and signature capture.
