How GEODIS optimizes retailers' supply chain operations

What are the different retail channels that GEODIS can address?
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.
What kind of value-added services is GEODIS able to perform in transport and logistics ?
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.
What are the different sizes of business you are working with?
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.
What are the main functions of retail logistics in eCommerce?
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.
How does retail logistics differ from other types of logistics?
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.
