There Couldn’t Be A Better Time To Outsource Your Order Fulfillment Than Today!
by Christie McLeod on Dec. 12, 2016
We’re living in the age of digitization where online buyers are extremely powerful. Shopping online is easy, convenient and quick. Today, customers want to have a stellar online shopping experience. That’s a lot of factors to manage all at once, and the reason why many choose to outsource order fulfillment.
Being a small eCommerce store owner, you have multiple factors to consider. And these factors extend beyond product quality, marketing and other business operations. The quality of your order fulfillment services has a huge say in how your revenue grows.
We understand that shipping can be difficult. And it impacts your business in various ways. Businesses strive to remain competitive, while ensuring a pleasant and seamless shopping experience for their online customers. Is that possible? Yes, by partnering with a reliable and professional order fulfillment company.
Outsource Order Fufillment & Grow Your Business
Here’s why many eCommerce businesses outsource order fulfillment from a third party company:
Better Focus on Business Growth
Establishing and managing an eCommerce store is challenging. Of course, you didn’t set up an online store because you love packing and shipping. What truly matters is the skill set you bring to the table – that can make your business stand out. Beyond that, as your business revenue increases in terms of volume, you’re left with even lesser time to manage other crucial business facets. Regardless of how skilled, efficient and dedicated team you have, you wouldn’t want to spend most of your time packing and delivering orders.
However, when you outsource order fulfillment to an expert company, you can save a lot of time that can be invested in business growth and expansion. Instead of wasting hours on eCommerce logistics, you can utilize that time on sales, marketing and other important things.
Cost-Cutting
You may find internal order fulfillment to be cost-saving, but that’s definitely not the case. As your eCommerce sales grow, you realize that a third-party order fulfillment company can reduce overhead costs in three ways:
- It prevents you from settling for long-term warehouse leases. Such expenditures can severely pressurize your budgets during low-sales periods.
- Order fulfillment companies are better able to negotiate reasonable rates from courier companies – thanks to their bulk shipments.
- Finally, you will no longer have to worry about hiring fulfillment staff, training them and managing them consistently – leave it to the outsourced fulfillment company.
Improved Scaling of Businesses
As businesses expand, shipping becomes a bigger concern for eCommerce store owners. This is particularly true for businesses that have multiple sales channels. Sit back and consider how many steps are involved in receiving an order from the client and delivering it to their doorstep – definitely not a walk in the park, right?
Outsourcing to an order fulfillment company means not being worried about order packaging, distribution and other aspects of inventory management. In fact, you will find yourself more comfortable and confident about the idea of expanding and scaling your business, without being preoccupied with the thought of customers having a poor shopping experience.
