These are the benefits of automating

If you want to grow via bol, automation is the key to success. In the world of e-commerce, everything revolves around speed and efficiency, and by investing in this, you can continue to stimulate your growth. Partners who automate and improve are significantly more successful via bol. 

Martin is a Technical Account Manager at bol and an expert in ecosystems. He explains: ‘Automating is all about accelerating and simplifying processes, which makes you more productive as a partner and frees up more time for entrepreneurship. Within bol, we have an extensive ecosystem of apps and services that partners can use. We only work with parties that offer high-quality tooling. We constantly monitor this tooling and maintain close contact with our ecosystem partners. They stay up-to-date with the latest developments and meet strict safety requirements. The tools offer reliable and effective solutions that stimulate the growth of partners via bol.’

For all challenges you may encounter as a partner, tooling is available to make processes easier. Martin says: ‘Automating is actually useful for every partner. For example, there are tools for streamlining your administrative tasks, gaining more precise and better insight into your sales figures, or making your logistics more efficient. As an entrepreneur, you should constantly look for bottlenecks and ensure your processes improve. The right app or service can help you with that.’

‘Ecosystem tools come in all shapes and sizes. Imagine this: your business is doing well, and you're receiving more and more orders. That's great, but it means you can no longer process all orders within one day. Instead of hiring extra warehouse staff, you could decide to purchase a service from an ecosystem partner. This way, you reduce costs, work more efficiently, and achieve higher profits. For example, Picqer helps you make the picking process more efficient, and Sendcloud assists with generating the most suitable shipping labels.

Do you want to improve your items and increase your sales using data analysis? Then with the Rylee tool, you can lower your costs, improve customer satisfaction, and grow up to 15% faster via bol. And for advertisers who want to automate, Deepcliq offers an AI solution that increases your marketing capacity while maintaining full transparency and control at an individual item level.’

‘The figures show that partners who actively use ecosystem tools are demonstrably more successful. For example, they have fewer returns, a faster delivery promise, and deliver on time more often. Also, a partner working with ecosystems has an average of 20 fewer problematic orders out of every 1000 orders shipped. Plenty of reasons for you as a partner to delve into what's possible.’
