Consult our Peak Experts

Deposco is the expert in delivering the technology, forethought, coaching, and analytics you need to become more proactive and take charge of your peak season planning.

What are your burning questions on how to train for this year? Our experts speak out on how you can anticipate, adapt, and own your customer experiences.

  • Will this year be harder or easier?
  • How do people feel about peak season?
  • What's essential for preparation?
  • Should I change anything?

"Consumers hold retailers accountable"

"95% of consumers expect the business to contact them if an estimated delivery date changes in transit. 90% expect some form of action or compensation for missed promise-by dates, and 41% want to be notified immediately when a delivery exception occurs. So it’s not just getting the product there on time, but having your finger on the pulse of the order every step of the way. Because at the end of the day, aligning your operations to nurture that customer relationship is all that matters. Do that and you will win."

"Peak will be harder this year"

"Because it’s no longer one end-of-year crunch, but multiple peaks in a rolling mountain range. Heightened competition, additional Prime Days, and customers spending less or holding off for a deal – those things mean you’ve got to be on your game all year long. And the goalposts will continue to shift. You might as well invest in a system that accommodates constant ebbs and flows without the full-court press in September or October."

"Profitability is in the spotlight."

"Beware of overconfidence with legacy systems. We’re seeing that the majority of supply chain leaders feel that they’re ready. But, there are too many unknowns to make a solid prediction. The risk of being wrong is too high. The only certainty is that your bottom line will be under the microscope come January. Manual systems can’t do the math on that as you go. Nor can they deliver the confidence, precision, and speed needed to create consistent, revenue-pumping customer relationships that will last. Only technology that is reliable, real-time, and adaptive can prepare you."
