E-commerce order fulfilment

September 2023

The e-commerce industry continually evolves, with advancement in technology and changes in consumer behaviour, companies need to adapt quickly. Here at CPG we have developed our fulfilment operation to integrate seamlessly with clients’ e-commerce sites, pick/packing and delivering orders across the UK and Europe.

Orders placed on a client ordering system or e-commerce site are electronically interfaced to CPG, to pick, pack and despatch the order. Delivery may be to a retailer or directly to the end customer.

Clients retain visibility of the order status through daily despatch confirmation files and tracking information. Stock files are generated to update stock levels on our clients ordering system or e-commerce site, to ensure that only available stock displays.

For the end customer, a despatch confirmation email and delivery texts provide even greater visibility on the status of their delivery.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

July 2023

The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a new piece of UK legislation introduced at the beginning of 2023, requiring businesses to change the way they collect and report data on the packaging they handle and to take responsibility for the disposal and recycling of their packaging at the end of its life cycle.

We are still in the process of assessing the impact that this regulation will have and the cost implications on the packaging we use on behalf of our customers.

Any levies associated with this regulation will be backdated to January 2023 and will be based on the packaging usage recorded throughout 2023.

CPG is committed to complying with this new regulation and doing our part to reduce waste and promote sustainability and we will provide updates to all our customers in due course.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Customer Service Team.
