A business management consultant based in Plymouth, in the South West of the UK, has published a guide full of cost-saving ideas for ecommerce companies.
Clay Cowie from S.M.A.R.T Turnaround recently wrote the report for leading entrepreneurial website talk-business.co.uk.
The guide details ways that firms can use the five performance objectives of quality, speed, dependability, flexibility and cost to review management practices and reduce overheads in running an ecommerce business.
It features tips, advice and examples of methods an online company can adopt to tighten up operations and save money.
Ideas in the guide include making warehouse staff responsible for the quality of packing to reduce the need for returns and repacking. The writer also suggests negotiating a ‘just in time’ delivery of stock items to reduce inventory and storage costs.
S.M.A.R.T Turnaround’s Clay Cowie is an experienced ecommerce business consultant, having previously ran several successful large online stores.
The MBA qualified business consultant now works with a number of clients in the South West to review, restructure and increase profitability in their ecommerce businesses.
Clay Cowie commented: “We use the five performance objectives all the time to review business practices and suggest improvements to help companies achieve success online.
“But not every business can afford the services of an external consultant. So I wrote the simple to follow guide so small companies and budding entrepreneurs can get some ideas on ways to tweak their business model to make significant cost savings.”
Following the guide’s publication on the talk-business.co.uk website, the advisor from S.M.A.R.T Turnaround is working on further articles to help advise and support online retailers.
Clay Cowie added: “Hopefully my comments and ideas in these articles will help more ecommerce businesses thrive and grow online.”
