You’ve started to create a path between piles of boxes filled with supplies in your living room. The floor is hidden under the unused cardboard, and a pile of freshly printed invoices sits on what was once a kitchen table. It was such a lovely place before your business took off.
Of course, it’s a great thing! Like you, many new online sellers have experienced that peak of sales that turned into something overwhelming overnight. At first, they were happy, and then sad, thinking about late nights ahead to process their orders without delays. Today, most of them would agree to say that you have a beautiful problem and a cost-effective solution: outsourcing most of your operations to a third-party logistics provider (or 3PL).
Is it time to outsource yet?
If you lack the space to store your supplies and the time to prepare your orders, then yes, it’s definitely time to outsource your ecommerce operations.
When you started, time to create, innovate, and come up with inspiring product descriptions that would represent your brand was not an issue. Outsourcing that more technical, yet vital aspect of your work will allow you to do just that. You’ll essentially delegate it to logistics experts who are used store inventory and ship parcels on behalf of business owners on a daily basis.
Evolving, Outsourcing, and Expanding
Buyers tend to purchase from sellers who sell more because their products are listed first in the search results when a customer is looking for a product online. By outsourcing your ecommerce operations, you process more orders and you leave your mark on platforms such as Amazon, Shopify, or Etsy, competing with more established sellers.
Faster, Cheaper, and much Lighter
Outsourcing your ecommerce logistics operations is like having a nice neighbor helping you with your heaviest grocery bag. It always feels great, even when you know you’re capable of doing it on your own. Similarly, having a 3PL provider not only gives you relief of not lifting a single box, but it has many benefits:
- faster delivery,
- lower shipping cost per parcel,
- less manual work, and
- more time on your hands.
Once you find your trusted 3PL service provider, consider your inventory managed and your shipping taken care of.
