What if you didn’t have to hire more staff to handle the growing number of eCommerce orders? Perhaps you could afford it, but do you really have to? Ecommerce sales continue to be on the rise in 2022. By 2024, the proportion of ecommerce sales is expected to grow another 2%, a total increase of 16% since 2017. Yes, it means more revenue from ecommerce retailers, but also greater shipping and handling efforts. Working with an expert 3PL is the best tool at your disposal to succeed in the digital market. If still in doubt, consider the following six reasons why you should work with a logistics expert specializing in ecommerce.
1. Time is of the essence
More than 60 % of online retailers currently offer free shipping on orders meeting certain criteria according to Digital Ecommerce 360. Free and fast shipping has become a standard of effectiveness and positive customer experience. Processing an important number of orders can create costly mistakes if not handled properly by professionals.
An experienced 3PL service provider possesses the technology and the manpower to process and ship orders in a timely fashion. From creating labels to delivering parcels, logistics experts provide your business the support it needs to succeed in the ecommerce space.
2. Where you store your goods matters
It may be tempting to store all your merchandise in the back of a store or in your basement. But what happens when there is more and more inventory?
