Automating Your NetSuite Shipping Ensures Every Sales Surge is Seamless

No matter when your peak season falls, a sales spike is critical to the bottom line. Without preparation, peak season can sabotage any business.

ShipHawk’s NetSuite shipping integration and NetSuite warehouse management system (WMS) saves time, money, and critical brand reputation.

The Cost and Consequence of Doing Nothing - OR - Staying Ready

Holidays, promotions, and seasonal trends drive a spike in demand, and brands should prepare at every level. Any unexpected news bump or social media mention can also cause sales to peak. Shipping and fulfillment should be ready anytime customer demand spikes. 

Failing to plan can mean: 

• Losing repeat customers
• Spending too much on labor
• Making poor shipping decisions 
• Experiencing employee burnout and turnover                                         

7 Reasons to Prepare for Peak Season

1. Meet Customer Expectations: Customers are savvy—businesses that can't meet expectations risk losing sales quickly.
2. Maintain Brand Reputation: Maintaining brand reputation is also crucial—especially during high-demand periods—to enhance their reputation and gain customer loyalty.
3. Avoid Unnecessary Shipping Delays: By preparing for peak season with warehouse and shipping solutions built for NetSuite, companies minimize the risk of delays and retain customer confidence. 
4. Reduce Operational Stress & Employee Burnout: Overworked peak season staff, inventory shortages, and logistical challenges create a stressful work environment. Preparation reduces stress for employees and operations.
5. Optimize Operations for the Entire Year: Businesses that invest in automation and technology, including a NetSuite shipping integration and NetSuite warehouse management system, streamline their processes, reduce errors, and improve efficiency year-round. Orders are fulfilled without shortages or excess inventory after the peak subsides. 
6. Staff Strategically: Hiring and training staff in advance is essential to handle demand. Planning helps your team manage the additional workload effectively.
7. Capitalize on Trending Revenue Opportunities: Finally, businesses that leverage trending revenue opportunities, such as seasonal or social media trends, can capitalize on revenue not available throughout the year.
