Retailers large and small continue to feel the effects of supply chain constraints ushered in by COVID-19. From ocean freight to domestic shipping, capacity is limited, causing increased freight costs and delayed fulfillment. What’s worse is that many supply chain experts predict shipping capacity won’t begin turning the corner until 2023 at the earliest. These realities have forced furniture retailers to operate much differently than they did just two years ago.
Although customers have reluctantly grown accustomed to the supply chain pains of the pandemic, furniture retailers are winning trust by prioritizing “in-stock now” items. This focus on ready-to-ship merchandise helps alleviate shipping capacity troubles and reduces fulfillment times to customers while creating stability in the retailers’ showrooms. As retailers continue to address customers’ concerns, there is a technology company leading the pack in solving these inventory and supply chain problems.
Launching its business-to-business marketplace in 2019, GigaCloud Technology (“GIGA”) has partnered with hundreds of vendors to provide over 15,000 SKUs in its digitized catalog. And with all major furniture categories represented (living room, dining room, bedroom, home office, entertainment, and more), stores can access more “in-stock now” items that are ready to ship immediately.
In addition to creating a marketplace that hosts tens of thousands of products, GIGA also provides retailers the ability to sell without the hassle of handling logistics themselves. With its 14 warehouses (6 in Los Angeles, 4 in New Jersey, 3 in Atlanta, and 1 in Dallas), GIGA helps retailers expand coverage and sell anywhere using its nationwide, flat rate fulfillment capabilities. No matter if a customer is in Detroit, Denver, or down the street, fulfillment to the customer is the same price and many retailers see savings upwards of 30% off their fulfillment costs. Moreover, GIGA provides white glove delivery services in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New Jersey, New York City, and Philadelphia.
