What are the challenges of child and baby product fulfilment?

Due to the nature of the products that are being sold, child and baby product brand owners may face a unique set of challenges when it comes to handling and fulfilling their products and orders. Lets discuss some of the challenges you may face with child and baby product fulfilment.

Quality Control

Child and baby products is a pretty broad term, but could be used to describe anything from toys, to diapers, to baby formula and food. Regardless, it is crucial that all products are kept in clean, safe areas. With food, the products may need to be kept at certain temperatures to avoid things such as spoilage. If these requirements can not be met, you may end up with damaged or spoiled products, meaning they cannot be sold so you miss out on sales. The products need to constantly be checked before being shipped out too, for quality control and safety purposes, making the fulfilment process more complex and long.

Seasonal Fluctuations and Demand

Most brands, regardless of the products they sell, will find that they have seasonal fluctuations, and spikes in demand. Knowing how to keep up with the demand is the challenging part. You need to ensure you have enough stock to meet demand, because if you don’t you may end up missing out on sales since your customers may decide to shop elsewhere. Customers have higher expectations now, which you need to be able to meet. On the flipside, overestimating how much stock you need to meet demand could leave you with too much excess stock. This can be costly in other areas, such as storage or disposals.

SKU Management

The more and more your brand grows, the more and more likely you are to increase the number of products you sell. With child and baby products, you tend to find there are a lot more pieces and parts, and managing this successfully can be challenging without proper inventory management processes in place. Good management of your SKUs and inventory levels will help you manage demand properly, since you can use different formulas to calculate how much stock you’ll need based off of any historical data you have. However this in itself can be challenging since it requires a good level of accurate data and management.

Expiration Management

As mentioned, if you sell things like baby formula or baby food, or any other food product, these will have expiration dates which need to be followed. You need a fulfilment process that takes this into consideration. In instances like this, it is best to use the FIFO method, to ensure that older products with closer expiration dates are being sent out first as this helps to avoid sending out expired products.

Returns and Exchanges

Although sometimes inevitable, returns and exchanges are a universal experience for eCommerce brands and retailers. It is important to a good returns/exchange process in place, as well as a good inventory management process to accompany it. This will help to ensure you aren’t losing out on extra money.

Shipping

Depending on the type of product, the shipping process can be a little more complex. If you are sending food, these products need the right type of packaging to protect it during the shipping and handling process. Toys, also need to be shipped carefully to avoid damage. If you dont have access to the right type of packaging you may end up having to refund more customers than usual due to damaged, faulty items.
