The logistics for online plant sales? This is how Perfect Plant Deal handles it!
As a leading e-fulfilment specialist for the online sale of plants and trees, we know better than anyone what is involved in the logistics of these vulnerable, living products. At Perfect Plant Deal we have built up years of expertise to deliver your plants to your customers in the most efficient and careful manner possible. Let’s see how we do that!
Packaging with craftsmanship
Packaging is crucial for the safe shipping of plants. That is why we use specially designed plant packaging that is optimally tailored to this.
These boxes and containers are airy with ventilation openings, so that the plants can continue to breathe. They are also moisture resistant and protect against bumps or falls during transport. Our team of experienced order pickers packs the plants with the utmost care. They are trained to handle the vulnerable cargo carefully and prevent overload or damage.
Thanks to our efficient process, the packaged plants can be shipped quickly, so that they do not remain packed for too long.
Fast and cool shipping
Once properly packed, it is important to get the plants to your customer as quickly as possible. After all, fresh products such as our more than 150 different plant species have a limited shelf life from the moment of harvest. That is why we work closely with specialized carriers who are familiar with transporting plants and flowers over long distances.
For shipments outside the Benelux, we use refrigerated trucks or ‘refrigerated vans’ to keep the temperature consistently low. This way the ripening process is not accelerated and the plants stay fresh longer.
Thanks to our efficient processing process, most orders can be shipped the same day and delivered within 48-72 hours throughout Europe.
Maintain inventory with data-driven insights
Another logistical challenge is managing our stock. Plants and flowers are seasonal products whose demand fluctuates. As an e-fulfilment partner, we must respond well to this with our offering.
We therefore work with an extensive network of more than 150 reliable growers who provide us with a wide and up-to-date range of plants per season. Due to our central location in the Greenport Westland/Oostland, we can be quickly supplied with the freshest products.
Our inventory policy is driven by data-driven forecasts based on our extensive sales data from previous years. This way we can accurately estimate which species are popular in which periods and anticipate this in a timely manner. We also take into account peak times around holidays such as Mother’s Day.
