Case Study: Buysend.com

Customer: Buysend.com Location: Chelmsford, Essex Business type: Online retailerProducts installed: Packstation™, Packsolo™

Company backgroundBuysend.com is an e-commerce business based in Essex that sells a wide variety of consumer goods. Their stock, ranging from automotive and electrical products through to health and beauty items, is supplied by UK suppliers and manufacturers. Since their establishment in 2008, the company has gained significant success through eBay, Amazon and their own website sales.

Employing 25 staff the company despatches around 1,300 items per day which at peak times can rise to 2,000 items. Stocking over 50,000 product lines, all items are distributed through two main warehouses and despatched from one packing centre. Given the significant amount of items being despatched on a daily basis, the company was in search for an efficient yet sustainable packaging solution that would improve their packaging operations.

What did Buysend require?Buysend.com were finding that with their increasing sales, packing procedures could often be slow, and inefficient. Their packing benches were basic which led to untidiness as they were using another packaging solution to package their goods - this was proving to be both a costly at around £12,000 a year.

Having attended the Spring Fair exhibition to find a solution to the problem, Buysend.com were very impressed with Easypack’s Packstation™ and its integrated Packsolo™ system which provided a solution to both problems.

Following a sales visit, Buysend.com ordered their first Packstation™ and integrated system, followed by two further systems.

What types of products are packed?Buysend.com pack a wide and diverse range of goods from sports equipment, household and garden accessories, tools and DIY items and even baby items. The products come in all shapes and sizes so Easypack’s 100% recycled, recyclable and biodegradable paper offered the perfect solution as it is flexible, clean and sustainable.

Testimonial“The new set up has improved our packing operations on a number of levels. The Packstation™ enables packers to pack very comfortably as they are very user friendly and the easy reach packaging enables us to pack faster and help us to be far more organised. We have also added an automated label system and auto-tape system which again has helped to speed up packing considerably.”

Case Study: Buysend.com

Special design requirementsIn order to increase the speed of their packing operations, Buysend.com integrated an automated label system and auto-tape system on to their Packstations. They also needed to refer to their monitors at the point of packing and therefore requested a central bracket to support the monitors for user convenience.

Why Easypack?Buysend.com looked at a range of potential packaging systems but Easypack’s range was by far the best in terms of product quality and flexibility. The hands-on approach by staff helped them to integrate their new systems into their packaging warehouse, alongside a new conveyor system.

BenefitsSince incorporating the Packstations and Packsolo™ systems and using Easypack’s recycled paper as in-the-box packaging, the business has seen a significant improvement to their efficiency and speed of their packing operations.
