Laithwaites improves delivery experience with unified management

Written by nShift | Nov 22, 2025 6:45:00 AM

Serving millions of orders each year, Laithwaites operates a high-volume logistics operation where delivery experience is a core part of the brand. As customer expectations evolved, the business needed a modern platform that could streamline shipping tasks, provide real-time visibility, and support a more personalised post-purchase experience. The goal: simplify internal processes while giving customers more choice and clarity.

Challenge

Laithwaites’ logistics and customer teams were managing several delivery processes across separate systems.

This made it harder to:

  • keep shipping workflows consistent
  • provide customers with real-time updates
  • offer flexible delivery choices at checkout
  • maintain transparency across the entire delivery journey

To support continued ecommerce growth, the team needed a single, integrated platform that could bring these processes together.

Solution

Laithwaites implemented nShift’s delivery management, tracking, and checkout capabilities in one unified environment. This allowed the retailer to:

  • manage shipping creation, label printing, and dispatch more efficiently
  • give customers real-time tracking visibility from warehouse to doorstep
  • enable flexible delivery options directly at checkout
  • integrate seamlessly with their ecommerce platform

By consolidating key steps of the delivery and post-purchase experience, Laithwaites now runs a smoother operation and provides customers with clearer, more confident delivery journeys.

Results

Laithwaites reports stronger operational control and improved customer experience, driven by real-time visibility and expanded delivery choice. The modernised workflow also supports the company’s broader growth ambitions.
