TOYS AND GAMES

Fulfilment for toy and game
brands in Australia

Toy and game brands often experience significant increases in order volumes in the lead-up to Christmas, making effective
inventory management and fulfilment planning particularly important. With diverse product ranges and multiple SKUs to manage,
brands need a fulfilment partner that can handle day-to-day orders while preparing for seasonal fluctuations in demand.

Peak season
3PL capacity for Christmas and the holiday season

For toy and game brands, the fourth quarter is a critical trading period, with Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) and Christmas driving increased order volumes and tight dispatch deadlines. Effective fulfilment planning is essential to managing the surge and keeping orders moving during this important sales window.

Coghlan increases warehouse resourcing during Q4 to support the peak selling season, including BFCM and Christmas. We work with clients to plan for anticipated order volumes, inventory requirements and dispatch deadlines to help prepare for the busiest time of the year.

Kitting for gift sets and multi-item bundles

Gift sets and multi-item bundles are popular in the toys and games category, particularly during the Christmas trading season. Coghlan can assemble product bundles on demand, allowing brands to fulfil multi-item orders without needing to pre-assemble all bundle stock in advance.

Kitting requirements can be discussed during onboarding to determine the most suitable approach for your product range, order volumes and seasonal demand.
