How Finishing Line Helped Giggly Scale its Business

Tenevo: Intuitive Warehouse Management System

Tenevo, Finishing Line’s built in-house, cloud-based management system played a significant role in managing Giggly’s client orders throughout the tough months of the pandemic when online orders and deliveries were at a record high. Tenevo allowed Giggly to manage and track the following: Reserve space for incoming stock, implement stock alerts to prevent bestselling products from selling out, view live orders which are being picked and packed, track dispatches, as well as any of their returned products that are shipped back to the warehouse.

Customer Service in-house: 6 days a week

To help Giggly maintain an exceptional level of customer service whilst also dealing with an increased level of enquiries, Finishing Line introduced customer service management within its many tiers of services, covering the company’s phone line, as well as managing a designated email inbox. This is a service that Finishing Line continues to provide in assisting any business that is experiencing a vast number of customer service enquiries daily, with the simple ambition of making any queries or issues received from customers a less problematic task for any partnered company to manage.

 “Finishing Line provided us with the knowledge and support that enabled Giggly to scale up to become a global brand selling across Middle East, central Asia, Europe, North America and South America” 

 “By handling our customer service alongside our fulfilment, Finishing Line allowed us to focus on expanding our product lines and engaging more with our customers”
