With the start of the gardening season, e-commerce is experiencing a significant upturn. The demand for leisure articles and gardening tools is skyrocketing. One of the winners is FUXTEC GmbH in Herrenberg / Baden-Württemberg. The German company sells its products mainly via its own web shop and other online platforms. FUXTEC relies on its logistics partner Gebrüder Weiss to ensure that its spring products arrive on time.
At FUXTEC’s 12,000-square-meter logistics center in Simmozheim (northern Black Forest), around 20 employees ensure that orders are processed smoothly and quickly. Every day, Gebrüder Weiss picks up the packaged items ready for shipment and brings them to the logistics center in Esslingen near Stuttgart. After thorough routine checks, they are prepared for onward transport to the customer.
“We have been supporting FUXTEC in Germany for one and a half years. We now handle almost 10,000 shipments per year, with peaks of up to 100 parcels per day during the spring season,” explains Jochen Gonser, deputy branch manager at Gebrüder Weiss in Esslingen near Stuttgart. Gebrüder Weiss uses a dense network of its own warehouses and partner locations to deliver FUXTEC articles within 24 hours of order placement in Germany, and within 48 hours in other European countries – right to the doorstep. “In e-commerce, reliable delivery is the most important factor,” explains Steffen Cless, Head of Logistics at FUXTEC. FUXTEC can check the delivery status at any time on the Gebrüder Weiss myGW web portal. The delivery service has been well received by customers, with 98 percent of customer ratings on fuxtec.de showing top marks of five stars.
