The Backstory
What is RackShip?
If you could free up a month of time in your business operations, what would you do with it? RackShip, a company that produces and whitelabels supplements, dropshipping, and retail fulfillment, was able to eliminate four weeks waiting for a problem to be solved by switching to Luminous.
Previously, almost everything that RackShip did was through manual processes. The company also struggled with multiple accounts and expensive consultants to solve problems. Many businesses that rely on spreadsheets and manual operations have 42 percent more human errors than those that automate their processes. These numbers can be costly for a business that specializes in shipping solutions.
RackShip offers quality assurance, management consulting, and audit and evolution, aiming for flawless delivery of nutra products–health supplements and protein powders. For RackShip, timely delivery served as the main focus of their work.
The Challenge
Too Many Spreadsheets
With more than 1,000 packages shipping per day, RackShip quickly accumulated hundreds of spreadsheets. Employees complained about the lack of visibility and clunky, painful processes that slowed the work day.
Furthermore, when RackShip looked into a solution for this problem, the first choice required that employees train and onboard into a new system. It took up to four weeks to solve any problems with this system, due to lack of customer support. Frustrated, the team spent $500 an hour on an expensive consultant to see if they could resolve the problem on their own.
The Solution
An All-In-One Software
When RackShip took on Luminous, the company instantly took advantage of these features to help save them time and money in its day-to-day processes.
- First In First Out (FIFO) Inventory Method
- Purchases all in one place
- Reports for visibility
- Pulling inventory
- Billing
The team at RackShip was able to quickly learn and understand how to use the Luminous software. Customer support was just a phone call away, making troubleshooting and implementation a simple process that was over in a matter of minutes. Furthermore, RackShip no longer had to lean on several different spreadsheets, manual steps, or multiple software accounts to run its business.
