Is Your Supply Chain Helping or Hindering Customer Satisfaction?

All companies strive for excellent customer satisfaction to ensure repeat business, referrals, and brand loyalty. But often times, businesses overlook one key avenue for enhancing customer satisfaction – their supply chain.

A supply chain consists of the different companies involved in getting your goods to market. Basically, it’s every company that has some form of contact with your product. Some typical networks of providers within a supply chain are a procurer of raw materials, a manufacturer, an assembler, a warehouse and distribution center, and a sales network.

A supply chain optimized to its fullest delivers lowers costs and higher customer satisfaction. But how can you determine if your company’s supply chain is optimized to realize these benefits? Here are some things to consider to help you answer that question.

A Supply Chain Helps Increase Customer Satisfaction If It:

• Is optimized from start to finish, thus reducing your time to market;
• Invests in new technologies to improve operations;
• Has a warehouse management system that can be integrated with your company’s systems so your organization can easily share logistics information;
• Can lower your costs so you beat the retail prices of your competition;
• Has high performing distribution operations that allow you to achieve fast delivery times;
• Is streamlined to deliver excellent customer service;
• Provides transparency so if a problem arises with a customer, you’re able to determine why it occurred and how you’re going to fix it;
