Retail

Whether your retail activity is linked to B2B (stores), B2C (e-commerce), DTC (direct-to-consumer), or wholesalers, GEODIS will support your supply chain flows with the most appropriate solution. We even support retailers that are working towards omnichannel logistics, and others that strategically decided to keep separate channels.

GEODIS is highly experienced in a wide array of value-added services, across the supply chain, from quality control, fraud management, garments on hangers (GoH), labelling & samples management to branded packaging of high value goods, RFID, repair, cleaning, refurbishing, & reverse logistics. We manage all these operations with extra-care, as they may have a critical impact on the end-consumer.

GEODIS is capable of adapting to all types of businesses, small or large. If you process less than 1,000 orders a day, you might consider our eLogistics operations. But, if you process more orders, consider our Campus solutions. And if you have specific requirements, or if you need automation, ask for our dedicated warehouses.

The moment an order is placed at your online store, the retail logistics workflows kick into action. It involves the running of specific processes such as picking, packing, transportation management, and (sometimes) even order returns.

Unlike logistics in other sectors, retail logistics involves a lot more of return management. Handling the customer returns must be done in the most efficient and affordable way possible.
Retail supply chain frequently involves small parcels that need to be dispatched directly to consumers, which does not allow for bulk shipping. Drop shipping is also a common practice in retail logistics.
