Ken Research Drives 400% Lead Growth & 45% Revenue for Warehousing Provider

Ken Research collaborated with a leading warehousing and fulfillment service provider to address critical challenges in scaling lead generation and strengthening their market presence across India, UAE, and South Africa. Specializing in on-demand warehousing for e-commerce, electric mobility, and retail sectors, the client faced stagnation in lead growth, with only 5–6 qualified leads per month—far below the industry benchmark of 20–25 leads per month.
