International fulfilment services provider, fulfilmentcrowd, has joined the esteemed exhibitor list for this year’s Paris Retail Week.

The business will showcase on stand E108 its unrivalled technology to the show’s attendees including its latest client app, logistics software and growing international partner network that’s helping fast-growing independent online retailers to cost-effectively outsource their fulfilment services, meet customer demand and scale their businesses around the world.

The fulfilmentcrowd app has been specifically developed and optimised to use a combination of push notifications and user interface (UI) design, that allows customers to access the information they need anytime, anywhere, on any device. By proactively monitoring stock inventory for its customers, any issues can be addressed and resolved quickly, saving time for retailers, freeing up resource and delivering a positive customer experience that builds loyalty with shoppers.

fulfilmentcrowd’s in-house team of developers has designed and built the latest app, based on real time customer feedback, which is unique in its ability to streamline 3PL services for retailers selling in domestic markets as well as exporting across the EU and US. The business provides on-hand technical support to assist seamless integration with customer systems and drive continuous innovation for retailers to make informed, customer-centric decisions based on consumer data.

Kevin Plantier, fulfilmentcrowd’s business development manager for France, based in Paris, will be in attendance during the show. Commenting on fulfilmentcrowd’s proposition for the French market, he said: “Outsourcing fulfilment needs to be quick for fast-scaling e-commerce retailers. Having worked in the distribution market for over 10 years, I know there’s nothing else like the fulfilmentcrowd app – it appeals to retailers who are looking for ways to enhance efficiencies and rapidly scale their businesses. Everything from transparent pricing and instantly available quotes, through to client on-boarding and the fulfilmentcrowd app, have been designed to make life easier for eCommerce retailers in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

“We’re looking forward to the opportunity to meet new customers and potential partners at Paris Retail Week to show them our forward-thinking approach to outsourcing fulfilment services and recent success stories, as well as guiding them through the business’ expansion plans across Europe and the US.”

fulfilmentcrowd has more than 30 years’ experience in providing third party logistics services and currently services over 450 eCommerce retailers around the world. The business opened its first fulfilment centre in France in Lieusaint in December 2021 to support growing exports and international shipping from its UK customers, as well as attracting fast-growth eCommerce retailers, including Women’s Best and Serelys Pharma.

The 8th edition of Paris Retail Week, the meeting for all the retailing ecosystem, will be held from Tuesday 20 to Thursday 22 September 2022 in the Pavilion 4 of the Paris Porte de Versailles exhibition centre.

As a modular solution, ZetesChronos offers the required level of scalability as well as real-time visibility and enhanced levels of reporting that enables JD Sports to gain insight and increase the efficiency across its delivery network.

ZetesChronos connects with drivers and integrates with its ERP and WMS systems to automate processes. The solution also shares instant updates on the location of goods and vehicles to ensure the right delivery at the right time, every time.

“Having an efficient supply chain is integral to our future growth plans across Europe. We are pleased to select Zetes as our long-term partner given their expertise in supply chain, as well as their strong presence within Europe,” comments JD Sports.

Not only will ZetesChronos help to improve efficiency, the software also has functionality that supports wider business requirements such as data analytics and health and safety. As JD Sports explains, “ZetesChronos gives us real-time information so we can ensure efficient, secure and fast delivery.”

Amir Harel, UK Managing Director, Zetes, adds: “Supply chains are coming under increased pressure from growing consumer demands for an extensive range of services and delivery options. We are delighted to be working with JD Sports to provide them with a solution tailored to their exact requirements that will help future-proof their supply chain and support the continued growth of the company. The combination of both software and hardware will also result in the increased productivity and safety of drivers.”
