Is Your Fulfilment Partner Letting You Down?

One bad peak season costs more than a few complaints, and Q2 is the moment to act before the next one arrives.
 
Elovate-Home-Infographic-Mar-2026

Most businesses absorb a difficult peak season and move into the next trading period without calculating what it actually cost them.

However 20% of peak season orders involve a delivery failure*, and 60% of customers who receive a late delivery won't shop with that retailer again*.

That could be 12% of your customer base gone after just one bad peak. Lose 12% in year one and the cumulative loss reaches 22% by year two, nearly a third by year three.*

Each of those customers is worth up to 10x their first order in lifetime revenue. Replacing them costs 5 to 25 times more than keeping them would have.
