At a time when most businesses were closing their doors, Spatial Global were supporting their e-fulfilment customers to keep their online sales generating valuable income. The variety of products managed varies greatly and all experienced an increase in sales, but none was more dramatic than Evapo’s product range of e-cigarettes, e-liquids and vaping accessories. With more than ten times their typical order values for the season, driven by the closure of all their high street retail stores. “The team at Spatial Global have experienced significant increases in demand at a time of great concern throughout the World.
