Your logistics challenges in the fashion clearance market

Residual stock management (end-of-series)

Selling on Secret Sales often involves managing thousands of SKUs with very little stock per size (1 or 2 pieces). The risk of selling the same item on two channels simultaneously is maximum. Real-time e-commerce stock management is the only barrier against order cancellations that frustrate bargain hunters.

The tight economic equation (reduced margins)

In destocking, the margin is lower. You can’t afford inefficient logistics (long set-up times, shipping errors). Automation is vital to reduce the unit cost of preparation and preserve the profitability of the clearance operation.

Managing unpredictable peaks in activity

Secret Sales relies heavily on “Drops” and email promotions. Your logistics department needs to be able to handle 50 to 500 orders a day, from one day to the next, without warning. By centralizing orders, you can absorb these waves without having to hire temporary staff in a hurry.

Mode return flow

As with classic ready-to-wear, the return rate is significant. But in destocking, a product blocked for return is a product that still loses value. Speeding up the return and restocking process is crucial to reselling the item while it’s still attractive.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Does the connector manage products with very little stock (1 or 2 pieces)?

Yes, that’s one of the strengths of our system. Synchronization takes place in near-real time. As soon as the last piece of a specific size is sold on Secret Sales (or another connected channel), stock levels drop to zero everywhere else instantaneously. This secures your end-of-line sales, and saves you from having to cancel orders and refund disappointed customers.

Can I differentiate "Secret Sales" stock from my main site?

Exactly. This is often necessary to avoid diluting your brand image. Thanks to multi-warehouse management, you can create a logical stock dedicated to destocking (virtual or physical) allocated to Secret Sales, while keeping your new products on your main e-commerce site, all managed in the same Shippingbo interface.

How does the connector help preserve my destocking margins?

By automating time-consuming manual tasks. Automatic order retrieval, automatic selection of the cheapest carrier via our shipping rules, and mass labeling drastically reduce labor costs per parcel. You ship faster, for less.

Can I connect Secret Sales if I'm already selling on Veepee or Showroomprivé?

Yes, our approach is omnichannel. You can connect all your destocking marketplaces to Shippingbo. This allows you to expose your dormant stock on as many channels as possible simultaneously, so that it can be sold out as quickly as possible, while being assured that the stock will update globally with each sale.
