This need was amplified through the pandemic as we saw eCommerce grow substantially across our websites. This encouraged us to consider how we could improve our customer journey and involved reviewing our eCommerce processes and how we would modernise them to meet customer needs. Part of that exercise involved an overhaul of our eCommerce fulfillment. We really wanted to work with a modern fulfillment provider that offered us efficient and accurate picking, packing and delivery times as well as strong access to cloud-based technologies that would provide us with an accurate view of our supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James and James has worked with DC Thomson since December 2020 with fulfillment carried out by James and James\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommercefulfilment.com\/en_US\/fulfillment-centers\/uk\/\">Northampton based fulfillment center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDC Thomson is such a well-known British brand with icons like Beano and Puzzler under its banner. It\u2019s fantastic to be a part of its eCommerce journey and to help it deliver a great customer experience during fulfillment and delivery to customers,\u201d says James Hyde, CEO of James and James Fulfillment. \u201cWe set up James and James to provide eCommerce brands, like DC Thomson, with a modern, digital eCommerce fulfillment experience. Many of the firms we represent come to us to take the pain away from them to deliver their products to customers.
