E-fulfilment - or shop logistics - is the outsourcing of 4 core tasks to a logistics partner.
But why would you do this?
I'm glad you asked 🙂
Every time one of your customers places an order, it has to be prepared and shipped. And this is often not the core task you were waiting for as a webshop entrepreneur. A lot of time goes into the processes that have to happen after an order is placed.
What is involved?
Once your web shop is up and running, several orders a day will come in. For each order you have to print the invoice, assemble the order, package the order, create shipping labels and keep your stock management up to date.
These are time-consuming tasks. Things that you as a business owner can outsource to an e-fulfilment partner - like us. We take over everything, so you can spend time on growing your webshop, expanding to a second one or just enjoy your free time.
Among other things, we do the following:
Storage
Waiting every moment of the day for your suppliers to come by. Frustrating. And, above all, unnecessary. We receive all your stock and new products with the utmost care. Every moment of the day.
After quality control, our experienced warehousemen put your stock safely on our shelves.
Orderpicking
Our advanced Warehouse Management Sofware accurately tracks the orders your customers place in your webshop. Whenever one of your customers places an order, we make sure your order is prepared immediately.
Packaging
Then everything is packaged in the way that best suits your product and needs. Because we negotiate volume contracts with our packaging suppliers, you quickly save on this expense.
Shipping
Twice a day, daily, weekly,...
You decide how often you want to see your packages leave. Again, you enjoy solid discounts on shipping costs.
By outsourcing these four steps, above all, you gain more time. And money. So you can focus on the core activities that make your online shop grow. Think about expanding your product range, finding new suppliers, developing customer service, more customer acquisition, marketing, innovation, and so on.
Furthermore, it is also possible for your customers to pick up their packages from us in person. This can be convenient if they live close to our warehouse, or want their order the same day.
In a nutshell:
Run your online store with your laptop. From anywhere in the world, at any time of day.
We take care of the rest.
