Get the most out of eCommerce automation with airSlate
The pandemic has drastically changed the way we buy and behave. According to the EY Future Consumer Index, a growing number of US consumers (80%) started to gravitate towards purchasing online. On top of that, they prefer to shop with companies that made sustainability a part of their strategy. These factors stress the necessity to rethink how we approach eCommerce and create a positive long-term customer journey in the new reality. To outmaneuver the risks associated with the post-pandemic echoes disrupting eCommerce, companies need to move offline activities online. There, they need to create an efficient synergy between existing infrastructures and innovative solutions that can accelerate company growth.
The importance of eCommerce marketing automation
One of the trends that have gained immense popularity in recent years is eCommerce marketing automation. Automation tools serve to free marketing specialists by automating a wide range of promotional activities, like newsletters, ad campaigns, SMM posting, data collection, and analysis. However, automating marketing activities alone will not help your eCommerce business to succeed. There are still many under-the-hood business operations that need to be streamlined and spared manually — for instance, the vendor onboarding process. Let’s take a closer look at one.
Make vendor onboarding easy right from the start
The relationship with vendors lays the groundwork for any company’s growth and success. That is why finding and onboarding can be a challenging task. It usually comes with a screening process, hours of research and negotiations, contract redlining, and, of course, some give and take. This might create administrative chaos and lead to pending or even delayed projects. This is where the automation of the supplier onboarding process comes to the rescue. Before streamlining the onboarding process with the help of automation tools, you need to create and take into consideration essential points to set onboarding on the right track from the start:
- Outline your key expectations from vendors. It will help you understand whether they have enough resources and capabilities to meet your requirements.
- Establish an initial selection process. Interview your chosen prospects and learn about their experience, challenges, and achievements in your domain.
- Do extensive research. Get feedback from the customers the potential vendors or suppliers worked with.
- Approach vendors and suppliers as you would approach a new employee. It’s crucial if you’re set to create a long-lasting partnership.
