After opening the malls, another good news for fashion enthusiasts • The company announced a gradual return to activity in the country after it ceased to do so last March due to the Corona

A few days after the malls opened across the country - in other lines for fashion enthusiasts in Israel. The British website Next Next returns, though gradually, to its next few weeks, its activity in Israel. According to the company, the return is made possible after the necessary safety changes in the logistics and distribution system have been implemented in accordance with the new safety procedures due to the Corona epidemic.

Recall that at the end of March 2020, the company announced a temporary stay of all its online activities on the British and Israeli version, considered to be very popular and loved by the local audience. The decision to suspend operations for a limited time was made due to the Corona epidemic in order to assimilate into the company's storage and distribution system new safety practices for the welfare of employees.

The reopening of the online store next.co.il which is up today with the Summer 2020 collection will be ranked. In the first few weeks, the site will limit the amount of items that can be ordered daily, with a view to reducing the ordering burden on logistics and distribution systems, while adhering to safety practices. After reaching the daily quota, the site will not allow for additional purchases on the same day and the site will be in view-only and browsing mode until the following morning.

Under the policy of "safety first for all" (safety first), NEXT has in recent weeks implemented new safety measures among employees. Delaying the activities allowed the company to prepare, reorganize work in storage centers and apply procedures to help maintain employee health and safety. Among the things that will be done: Work positions that adhere to the principle of distance of more than two meters from each other, the addition of hand washing facilities as well as in positions where there is a necessary employee turnover, emphasis was placed on disinfecting after each employee, to prevent injury to the next employee. 

Remember, a month ago, the giant retailer returned to running its website in limited form. This, after ceasing operations for over two weeks due to the Corona, but has not yet resumed operations in Israel. Next was the only retailer to discontinue operations in the UK to ensure that the staff working at the company's warehouses could work safely.

The company's website said at the time that the company's warehouse managers were successfully examining the site's opening and are taking a limited number of orders now. In order to open the company's warehouses in safety, the company limits the number of employees who can work at the same time and thus limits the number of orders by customers every day.

It was also stated at the time that returning to work at the company would include strict rules for maintaining distance. The restart will take place in stages. The site will initially offer a limited range of clothing and will be open for a limited number of hours. The idea is to start selling at a smaller volume, so they will only need a small number of employees in each warehouse at a time, thus helping to ensure distance.

The Next Site is considered one of the most popular sites among Israeli consumers, especially in the field of children's clothing. Shantel Binelli, the Next International Director of Public Relations who came to Israel specifically for the launch of the site in Israel, then told Israel Today: "Israeli consumers are very important to us. Apart from the UK, this is our largest market. We sell to 70 countries and Israel is the second largest. '.
