Few companies can manage nationwide or international warehousing and distribution on their own, and even fewer have relationships and expertise with Amazon fulfillment.
The same goes for handling regulatory compliance and meeting increasingly complex logistical needs. Without help, your business risks being unable to fulfill customers’ orders efficiently and cost-effectively. Let us help you determine if your company is ready for a third-party logistic provider like WBX Commerce.
Third-party logistics (often known as 3PL or TPL) describes the outsourcing of a business’s warehousing and distribution services. 3PL companies can handle everything from inventory management to shipping and final-mile deliveries.
And they’re more popular than ever. Grand View Research reports that the 3PL market was valued at over $830 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.3% from 2020 to 2027.
If your competitors use a 3PL, which the data shows they do, don’t get left behind. Let WBX Commerce help you make the transition from seller fulfillment to WBX Commerce fulfillment easily and efficiently.
Partnering with a third-party logistics company like WBX Commerce is a critical point in the life cycle of most eCommerce businesses, now more than ever. The challenge lies in identifying the right moment to bring in the experts and choosing a 3PL that can grow with your brand.
A 3PL company like WBX Commerce can handle all shipping and fulfillment services for your ecommerce business.
We can oversee all logistics, from warehousing to delivery, and we can help you achieve perfect order fulfillment by offering expert inventory forecasting, picking, packaging, and freight forwarding solutions.
Your logistics costs will be lower as a result. In fact, a 2019 report by Korn Ferry found that approximately 72% of 3PL users reduced their expenses by contracting out to a third-party logistics provider. Let us help you save unnecessary costs and headaches.
Without the need to oversee your own fulfillment centers, warehousing, and shipping services, you can focus on what you do best: running your business. You can devote less time and expense to matching the speed and efficiency of competitors’ logistics. That frees you up to invest in what makes you unique, like your products, marketing, and customer service.
If your company has grown beyond the capabilities of your own distribution center or office, you may already be feeling the pain of delayed order fulfillment, inventory overload, and reduced customer satisfaction. With that in mind, here are a few reasons your company should consider distribution and warehouse outsourcing through WBX Commerce.
Vertical integration is a proven strategy for success. With a single partner to manage fulfillment and sales, you can capitalize on new opportunities as they arise in real-time, discover greater efficiencies in moving and selling, and glean insights to continually improve both sides of the business. Furthermore, vertical integration enables brands to pass on lower costs to customers and increase sales.
Despite the advantages, not all brands need to outsource their logistics. For others, bringing on a 3PL provider like WBX Commerce is a critical next step. Below is how to determine what’s right for you.
