The coronavirus pandemic brought personal protective equipment and hygiene to the forefront of public concern, creating sky-high demand for hygiene-related goods. Due to the nature of the pandemic, healthcare, medical and consumer supply chains required a digital approach to fulfilment. At the height of the pandemic, Cloud9 Fulfilment provided next-level services for 5% of all Covid-Tests in the UK. As we slowly transition out of COVID-19, the greater consideration of our general health, personal protection and hygiene are key points of focus on a national and individual scale. This public and consumer shift towards our health and safety have continued the growth and awareness within the industry, especially for frontline workers and public health interests.
Following general consumer trends to online purchases and delivery, customers expect to be able to easily and rapidly have orders fulfilled. Regardless, if goods are for widespread use or specialist in the design, PPE and Hygiene Fulfilment provides companies access to larger groups of consumers and businesses. As health and safety standards become stricter, global supply chains need to be able to efficiently meet new demands.
PPE supplies, face masks, aprons and other hygiene products need to meet various standards and legislations for specific industries’ uses and countries. This extends to the storage and delivery of such goods, requiring experienced fulfilment partners to deal with customs declarations and documentation.
A wide variety of PPE supplies and hygiene goods have specific storage conditions and can be perishable or expire. Effective stock management and rotations are crucial to ensuring customers receive in-date products fit for purpose. This requires intelligent solutions to inventory management and product data tracking.
