Many billions go into the fashion market every year. While there are many suppliers, the sales market is also huge. Especially when you are not restricted by national borders. The possibilities are endless, but so is the list of challenges. We help you get the most out of your webshop so you can compete with local and international fashion retailers.
In most European countries, fashion is one of the most important online product categories. And because fashion is constantly changing, the opportunities are there for the taking. At the same time, the fashion industry is known for its high return rate. If you do not operate an attractive returns policy, you will quickly lose out to your competitors.
At Active Ants, all our locations are equipped with an AutoStore, smart robots and automatic packing machines. With this, we guarantee a fast and smooth fulfilment process, both outbound and inbound. And because we work so efficiently, we are able to offer attractive rates.
A good stock management system is important for any retailer. But within the fashion industry, it is absolutely indispensable. Otherwise, you quickly lose track, especially if you sell through various channels. Thanks to our smart software, you always have insight into your order volumes and stock levels.
So you know exactly what you still have in stock, which items are returning and when it’s time to order new products. In addition, we offer you a lot of insight into your operations. For example, you can see which items are doing well, which items are sold less frequently and which items have above-average return rates.
The fashion industry offers many sales opportunities. Through our links, you can easily offer your product range to various national and international marketplaces such as Zalando, Amazon and bol.com. Moreover, by placing your fulfilment with us, you can be sure to meet the strict requirements of these platforms. Consider, for example, delivery time, a return label with the order and a local return address.
Do your products need extra attention? Additional services are no problem. If you sell shoes, it is no secret that the soles quickly show wear marks. We can rework shoes to make them look like new again.
Together with Active Ants, you can easily cross the border with your webshop. The closer you are to the customer, the faster you can ship. With warehouses in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the UK, we can deliver quickly throughout Europe. But with us, you are also assured of the best logistics solutions (far) beyond.
International returns generate a large cost, especially if they are returned individually. Using a local return address allows you to bundle returned items from that country. Besides saving costs, a local address exudes confidence. Active Ants uses its own hubs, the international network of our parent company bpost and the facilities of our carriers for shipments and returns.
