The holidays are a magical time for your customers, but for companies, they present a little more stress. Your shipping team prints shipping labels and slogs through manual delivery processes. The surge in holiday orders presents a yearly opportunity for profits. Still, shipping departments and small businesses also face the same nightmare each year: more orders — and more headaches to go along with them.
But what if there was a faster, smarter way to handle your shipping processes? By automating tasks like generating shipping labels and managing delivery confirmations, Foxit PDF Editor and its AI-powered tools let you eliminate manual work and ship your orders faster, making them your new holiday helpers.
Want to learn how Foxit PDF Editor’s PDF AI features can make your holiday shipping as smooth as a sleigh ride? Read on to find out!
The holiday shipping hustle: What slows you down?
The average shopper plans to spend roughly $1,368 this holiday season — a 7% increase from 2023 and a 15% increase from 2022. All those extra orders offer a great chance to showcase your products, but manual shipping processes can weigh down your operations. Some shipping tasks that may slow you down are:
- Manual labor of shipping labels. Printing and filling out labels by hand is not just outdated; it’s also time-consuming and error-prone. Mistyped addresses and missed orders are holiday “gifts” no one wants to receive, dampening customer satisfaction.
- Delivery confirmation bottlenecks. Unlike wrangling reindeer, tracking packages and manually sending delivery confirmations can be complex, unpredictable, and time-wasting.
- Stress. The sheer volume of packages makes ensuring timely deliveries and staying organized an overwhelming endeavor.
The extra sales can significantly boost your business, but inefficient manual shipping processes can waste some of those profits. Removing those roadblocks can help you tap into additional revenue — which is precisely what Foxit PDF Editor+ can do.
