Situation explained.

Brexit led to the natural consequence for WOW Tech to optimize its logistics operations for the UK market. In fact, after Brexit UK order deliveries took up to 10-20 days impacting the customer experience drastically. WOW Tech needed a better solution in the UK to keep its success momentum.

Challenges.

The solution.

  • Long delivery times of 10-20 days and costs of €16-18 for single parcel shipments from DE to the UK
  • Same- & next-day shipping for €3-4 with a fully integrated UK fulfillment center
  • High customs clearance efforts for importing goods/single orders to the UK especially for order baskets above 135 GBP
  • Low customer clearance efforts enabled by the everstox eco-system logistics partners using bulk shipments instead of single parcel shipments
  • Establish local UK distribution logistics operations to store, fulfill and deliver orders closer to target audience
  • Onboarding of pre-qualified logistics operations with a local operator from the everstox eco-system within 2 weeks
  • Integration of commercial systems to local logistics operations end-to-end for more data transparency
  • Seamless data exchange and convenient logistics coordination for inventory flows, orders and return processes

| With Brexit and the resulting changes, we needed a partner that would help us overcome the challenges of delivering our products to UK customers. With Everstox as a partner we were able to quickly set up a warehouse location with a suitable logistics partner, so that we could continue to offer great service and operational excellence. |

WOW Tech’s success story in detail.

The challenge.

Before working with everstox, WOW experienced long delivery times and high cross-border costs for shipping B2C and B2B orders from Germany to the UK. The post-Brexit landscape also led to increased customs clearance efforts and cross-border complexities, especially for importing parcels to the UK with an item value above 135 GBP. All of which hindered WOW Tech’s ability to optimize their operations in the UK market.

The solution.

Everstox provides WOW Tech with a local fulfillment and shipping setup that tackles all of their logistics bottlenecks associated with the import of products in the UK. Instead of shipping single parcels from Germany with long lead times and high cross-border shipping costs, WOW Tech now has a local fulfillment hub to which more cost-efficient bulk shipments can be sent in order to store products closer to UK customers.
