Gourmet, experiential chocolate maker Vosges Haut-Chocolat has relied on separate inventory, accounting, and shipping systems to power the exponential growth of its ecommerce business.
Netrix created an integrated back-office ecommerce system which has increased speed, capacity, and productivity, helping Vosges fulfill its company mission of bringing “peace, love and chocolate” to customers around the world.
While the growth in online sales has been a welcomed trend, the complexity and headaches associated with getting thousands of packages out the door every day has caused some natural growing pains.
“We’ve been thrilled by the growth and expansion in our online business…The only problem has been keeping up with this growth using systems that require manual batch imports and double data entry. Orders, inventory and shipping have simply been too difficult and time-consuming and that’s what got us interested in the process mapping and automation solutions from Netrix.” – Natalie Markoff, Chief Marketing Officer at Vosges Haut-Chocolat
Netrix developed universal APIs for Vosges’ key fulfillment systems so they could communicate, share data and be updated automatically with each new online order.
Netrix integrated Vosges’ order management application with their shipping system, automating pieces of the fulfillment process including label generation for picking, packing and shipping.
“When we look at the time and energy saved, the ROI on our systems integration project with Netrix is easy to calculate,” Markoff said. “Orders that used to take a whole day to assemble and ship now take half that time. We expect to make our investment back in six months.”
The enhanced productivity in online orders has added additional capacity and plenty of room for future growth. One of the best indicators is staffing levels
