Scaling – what does it actually mean?

In general, "scaling" describes the change in size of an object – the word is therefore often used in connection with graphics, for example when it comes to scalable vector graphics. Companies can also be scaled – but it's a bit more complicated. To be scalable, a company and all its processes must be prepared for future growth – basically, the entire business model underlying the company should be scalable. Scalability of a business model happens when growth is possible without significant additional expenditure. So if you have a company where demand is growing rapidly, for example after internationalization, you can expand by scaling and continue to meet the high demand. If, on the other hand, your business model is not scalable, you will not be able to grow to meet the increasing demand and will lose potential revenue. To illustrate why you too should scale your business, we would like to introduce you to someone...

May we introduce: Hannah

Hannah has been dreaming of her own online store since she was a student. Her business idea: seamless socks. After graduating successfully, she set up her own online store using her savings. High quality, no annoying seams at the toes, and "Made in Europe". Hannah knows exactly what her USPs are and already made contacts with manufacturers during her studies. Her online store has got off to a great start. Seamless socks are especially popular with sportspeople and orders are quickly reaching a consistent level.

Hannah's concept works! Her socks are very popular and the number of orders keeps increasing. Word has spread, even outside the sports scene, that Hannah's socks keep their promise. In a brainstorming session, Hannah and her colleagues develop ambitious goals. More sales channels are to be connected, more flexible payment methods integrated and the shipping service provider contract optimized. Hannah already suspects that scaling up cannot work without a solid foundation for all her data.

But more orders also mean more work for Hannah and her staff. Daily business now takes up most of the day. There is hardly any time left to look for new sock models or to keep customer communication at the usual and desired high level. Hannah's business is now all about the everyday tasks.

Something has to happen. Remembering the topic of optimizing processes and scaling a company led her to look at the possibilities for her own company. What software can help her and her staff to manage their daily workload more effectively and efficiently? Which factors can be optimized in the online store? Does the shipping service provider have ways to help with scaling?

Hannah reads the blog post from the manufacturer of her online store software and notices that it deals with exactly these questions. Each of their topics is highlighted in a dedicated webinar in one week – presented by experts, illustrated with examples, and offered with the possibility to ask questions. Hannah won't let this chance pass her by! She signs up for the webinar week and is eager to get valuable input for scaling her business.

Scaling shipping with DHL

Internationalization and process automation.

All the preparations you have made so far will only be of limited help if you are ready to scale up internally, but cannot supply your customers efficiently. Optimized shipping processes are also – and from the customer's point of view especially – a decisive factor. In the webinar with Raphael from DHL, you will learn exactly what role shipping plays. In this webinar, he will address two aspects of scaling in particular.

1. Scaling is always about how you can grow. International shipping can play an important role in this.

2. To prevent scaling from becoming an operational fiasco, it is essential that it is accompanied by automation of many processes, including shipping. Of course, we will also allow enough time for your questions in this webinar. Raphael will be happy to help you with this.
