Online Thrift Store Goodfair Streamlines and Scales Fulfillment with Descartes Ecommerce Warehouse Management Solution
August 16 2021 - 6:45AM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that Houston-based Goodfair, an online thrift store platform that
sells themed bundles of clothing, is using Descartes’ cloud-based
ecommerce warehouse management system (WMS) to automate, streamline
and scale its order fulfillment processes to meet surging demand
for secondhand retail.
“By reintroducing clothing back into the consumer cycle that
would otherwise have been destined for a landfill, we’re
revolutionizing how people shop, reducing water waste, carbon
emissions and marine pollution,” said Topper Luciani, CEO at
Goodfair. “We rely on the Descartes solution to help us ship
fluctuating volumes of pre-loved clothing bundles to consumers
quickly and accurately, as well as to partner with a leading retail
brand for its online vintage shop. With an eye to minimizing our
environmental impact, the Descartes solution has eliminated
wasteful and inefficient paper-based order picking practices that
frequently led to order errors, offered poor warehouse visibility
and compromised the customer experience.”
Part of Descartes’ ecommerce solution suite, the ecommerce WMS
helps direct-to-consumer brands, like Goodfair, ecommerce retailers
and traditional retailers build their brand around scalable
fulfillment and a consistent customer experience. Designed to
support growing ecommerce retailers as they scale operations, the
cloud-based solution ensures that clients can ship on schedule,
ship the right items, have full transparency into warehouse
operations and inventory levels, and realize a quick return on
investment. The solution is pre-integrated with ecommerce
platforms, like Shopify Plus, Magento, ChannelAdvisor and others,
to accelerate implementation and time to value. Order information
is automatically available to be executed via mobile driven
multi-order pick-and-pack strategies and then fed into parcel
shipment systems.
Descartes’ ecommerce solution suite combines best in class
parcel shipping and fulfilment solutions to help small and
medium-sized-enterprise (SME) companies deliver a remarkable buying
experience for their customers, scale fast and grow
sustainably.
“We’re pleased to help Goodfair put the customer experience
first with a fulfillment model designed for growth,” said Troy
Graham, Vice President at Descartes. “For brands with ecommerce
warehouse operations, excellence in order fulfillment is a critical
differentiator, helping them smoothly increase capacity to meet
surges in demand while scaling their ecommerce businesses
profitably.”
