October 26, 2023
With several large remote warehouses requiring strong connectivity to manage orders as a crucial part of Ransom Spares e-commerce business, they needed a consistent broadband connection that wouldn’t fail.
BT Business Broadband provides Ransom Spares with a reliable, fast connection that they can trust, keeping the business running smoothly.
Ransom Spares now have excellent connectivity throughout their warehouses, ensuring the business is always online. Since switching to BT hubs, they’ve had no downtime, helping them operate at peak capacity.
Ransom Spares is an online family-run business based in Somerset, England. Supplying spare parts for household and garden appliances in both the trade and consumer space, they’re committed to providing high-quality products and excellent customer service. Promoting a ‘make and mend’ culture, Ransom Spares are helping customers keep their appliances running for longer.
The challenge
For an e-commerce business such as Ransom Spares, a strong broadband connection is essential in almost every part of their day-to-day operations. With 11,000 orders shipped nationwide to customers every week, business is built around connectivity and uninterrupted internet access. Three 5,000 square foot warehouses containing thousands of spare parts also demand a strong broadband connection with uninterrupted coverage across the premises.
Warehouse staff require a fast and reliable connection as they navigate the warehouses to locate the right parts for orders, whilst packing agents scan each item before distributing to delivery couriers. Powerful connectivity doesn’t just begin and end across the three warehouses that are the hub of the business. Remote service agents need a consistent, steady connection to communicate with the warehouse teams, from chasing orders, checking stock and organising collections, to simply answering customer queries.
Consequently, a strong connection is key for Ransom Spares to maintain high standards of customer satisfaction and ensure the business operates as smoothly as possible.
We want to experience seamless logistics and unparalleled customer service, and that’s why we choose BT.
