An important principle that Linker's team has long embraced is transparency and the continuous improvement of the solutions we provide.

That is why we produce Tech Overview articles once a quarter to give you a closer look at the improvements being made: -> https://linkercloud.com/blog/news/

In addition, we keep the Release Notes section up to date: https://linkercloud.com/resources/release-notes

The most important extra-features added over the past year are:

1. Logistics SLA

To make it as easy as possible for you to do the actions needed, we have prepared an advanced mechanism that allows you in the first step to defining SLA for each of our warehouses. A chart has been added for SLA, displaying historical monthly results data for the last 12 months. The chart has also been supplemented with a function to filter results by Fulfillment site, i.e. the warehouse to which the results relate. This feature is particularly useful for customers in our network who use more than one warehouse.

2. Auto-assignment rules

This functionality allows for defining rules and for assigning orders to a selected warehouse in the Fulfillment Network also. If the customer uses 2 or more warehouses, our system needs clear guidelines on where to allocate a particular order.

3. Integration setup

One of the core values of our application is having multiple integrations with the most popular e-commerce platforms and marketplaces. To get an integration up and running, you don't need technical skills. A full list of all integrations can be found in the link: https://linkercloud.com/why-us/integrations

4. Minimum stock management - we allow you to define minimum stock for a product, which greatly facilitates the control of stock in the warehouse. You can easily find the products you should order or relocate in our platform.

Exemplary TAGU case study:

It was essential to organize order fulfillment for oversized items, keeping the standard of 24/48h delivery time on every market. Typical TAGU fireplace weights statistically around 32kg and has an average dimension of 108 cm x 35 cm x 35 cm. Besides, in most cases, items are sent as a multi-parcel. It’s not easy to ship them, and, at the same time, to keep one tracking number for two pieces.

Instead, we were able to offer TAGU what they needed most in only a month – access to the end-to-end order fulfillment process in several markets under a single contract, without the necessity of dealing with all this alone.

The main factors that made the choice of Linker Cloud Fulfillment Network from the customer's perspective:

no minimum order quantities (especially relevant for seasonal fireplaces sales)

full software integration provided by the experts

willingness to deal with oversized multi-package orders

network coverage of all interesting markets

Selected Results:

We covered the complete fulfillment services for TAGU in the 4 European markets mentioned above, including regional return handling. We prioritized smooth order processing, despite the non-standard product sizes, with great success, as there were no operational delays in any market.

Thanks to local delivery the orders arrive within the expected time frame, between 24-48 hours, at the customer's doorstep, also at one tracking number (which we were able to ensure in 2 countries).

Until now we got about 4300 fulfilled orders and 8500 delivered packages to several thousands of customers, who have decided to buy the unique TAGU fireplaces. And it's not over yet, because at any time the business can be scaled further, in new regions, with just one click.

Joining Linker's Cloud Fulfilment Network was the perfect answer for our needs. Thanks to this we gained a kind of bridge, linking us with the rest of Europe. We could manage a smooth change of our operations and ship parcels from other warehouses catching up quickly. We were also positively surprised by the time needed to complete the formalities and close the project with Linker Cloud - it was a customer-focused approach. - Yidi Berger, Sales Manager at Dress Up America

When it comes to fulfillment solutions for non-typical objects, like our electric fireplaces, Linker Cloud is #1. We were struggling with difficult logistics, and we didn’t want to give up our ambitious plans to approach a few international markets at the same time. Linker Cloud offered us complex help with operations and integrations, being fully transparent and professional, which allowed us to start the business on four markets immediately, and… we can’t wait for more! If you are serious about your business and want a solution that fits your needs, not the other way round, you need Linker Cloud. - Marian Popescu, Operational Sensei at TAGU
