Optimising E-comm Order Fulfilment

In short

A leading retailer faced challenges in optimising the fulfilment of e-commerce orders, particularly in the collection and handover experience for gig-economy delivery partners. Drivers perceived the retailer orders as financially less attractive, with varying pick-up processes across stores, inconsistent bag packing practices, and occasional gaps in in-store worker knowledge.

Methodology:

Over four weeks, we interviewed 15 partner delivery drivers to understand their experiences and perspectives with the retailer and what defined a good pick-up and fulfilment process.

Suggestions to enhance the partner driver experience included:

• Explore a 'Pack and Deliver' model, where drivers go in-store to pack the customers' shopping, alleviating the in-store staff's workload.

• Provide drivers with clear in-app instructions and a two-way feedback system.

• Clear guidelines for efficient bag-packing practices.

• Adhering to in-app verification checks to ensure order accuracy
