Question 1

How to manage multiple client brands as an ecommerce agency without adding headcount per client?

Accepted Answer

Standardise your underlying processes and configure only what genuinely differs per brand. Base.com supports workflow configuration by client, category, or product, so new brands consume configuration time rather than proportional operations staff.

Question 2

Should each client have a separate system instance?

Accepted Answer

No, separate instances multiply your administrative load without improving isolation. A single platform with client-level separation across catalogue, stock, workflows and reporting delivers the same protection while keeping onboarding fast.

Question 3

How do you handle clients with conflicting courier preferences?

Accepted Answer

Configure carrier preferences per client, then layer PIN-code serviceability and weight rules beneath them. Base.com applies automatic failover when a preferred partner cannot service an address, so client preferences hold without causing failed deliveries.

Question 4

What causes most disputes between agencies and client brands?

Accepted Answer

Reporting gaps and returns attribution, almost always. Scheduled per-client reports and scanned returns recorded against the right brand remove the ambiguity both disputes depend on.

Question 5

How long should onboarding a new client brand take?

Accepted Answer

Target two to three weeks from contract to first clean dispatch week, covering catalogue import, workflow configuration and staff briefing. Agencies practised at managing multiple client brands as an ecommerce agency treat onboarding as a repeatable template rather than a fresh build each time.
