Johnson's Haulage — Integrated Logistics Solutions
E-commerce logistics arranged by Johnson's Haulage

E-commerce

Fulfilment and freight that keep pace with online demand.

Storage, pick and pack, and outbound freight for online retailers, including peak-period capacity and returns.

Overview

E-commerce logistics, arranged around your operation

Online retailers rarely fail because of demand — they fail because despatch cannot keep up with it. Johnson's Haulage supports e-commerce businesses with storage, pick and pack, and outbound freight, plus the inbound side that most providers overlook: container deconsolidation, supplier collections and stock transfers into marketplace warehouses. Capacity is arranged through partners we have assessed, so you can extend cut-off times during peak trading without signing a long-term lease on space you will not need in February.

Sector challenges

Typical logistics challenges in e-commerce

Peak-period despatch

Order volumes can double or triple within days, and unfulfilled orders quickly become negative reviews.

Inbound stock flow

Containers and supplier consignments have to be received, checked and put away before anything can ship.

Marketplace requirements

Amazon and other marketplaces impose labelling, booking and packaging standards on inbound stock.

Returns processing

Returned stock sitting unprocessed is capital tied up and inventory unavailable for resale.

Our approach

How we support this sector

1

Flexible storage

Pallet space taken as you need it, so peak stock builds do not commit you to year-round cost.

2

Container deconsolidation

Import containers unloaded, checked and put away ready for picking, with discrepancies reported.

3

Marketplace-ready despatch

Stock transfers prepared to marketplace labelling and booking requirements.

4

Returns handled to your rules

Inspection, grading and restocking carried out to the criteria you define.
