Ways to Improve Customer Satisfaction Through Effective Warehousing

September 19, 2019

One of the top determining factors for your business growth is customer satisfaction. While many things influence the level of satisfaction felt by your customers, warehouse management and organisation are at the top of the list. Although customers are seldom privy to the inner workings of your company today, a chaotic, disorganised warehousing system will lead to numerous complaints from customers about the lack of quality service. With all the digital communication possibilities at present, customer reviews have an increased impact on your company’s reputation and by enacting a highly organised warehousing system will ensure that reviews are in a positive tone rather than a negative tone. This leads to repeat customers instead of one-time only ones. Below, you will learn about some effective warehouse management practices that will help increase your customer satisfaction.

1. Effective, courteous communication is an extremely important part of delivering quality customer service. Fail at this and you risk losing multiple customers to your competitors. However, when you have an efficient process in place for handling customer concerns and queries, you will learn the information necessary to keep your customers informed about their orders and your company. On top of this, an automated system will keep your customers informed about order updates, such as the dispatch date, transit time and delivery date.

2. Accurate, faster product delivery is another improvement that you might need to make to keep your customers’ satisfaction level high. People should have access to numerous delivery methods in case they need their merchandise quickly. Failure to provide your goods in the allotted time and your customers may even cancel their orders.

3. Keeping your workers updated and informed on the current product locations, dates for incoming stock and status of all orders is another important element to effective warehouse management. Your workers will be able to perform their tasks more efficiently when they are kept “in the know” of all pertinent warehousing operations.

4. Your company must anticipate changing trends to stay with the times. Change is the one thing that you can count on to happen all throughout the year. Workers come and go periodically for one reason or another and new technology brings about system updates just for two examples. Expect, predict and plan for these changes to happen as part of your warehouse management to be able to react quickly, so that no one change decreases your customer satisfaction.

5. Always have a backup plan in case your original plan fails or malfunctions in another way. This way you can alter operations smoothly with little, if any, downtime.
