Today\u2019s eCommerce Market<\/h3>\n

Over the last decade, there has been a substantial move to eCommerce, and the Covid pandemic has caused an even greater shift to eCommerce in 2020,. According to Forbes and Digital Commerce 360, U.S. eCommerce sales were approximately $800 billion in 2020, up 44 percent over 2019. That\u2019s the highest annual U.S. ecommerce growth in at least two decades. It\u2019s also nearly triple the 15.1% jump in 2019.<\/p>\n

In parallel with the eCommerce explosion, expectations of both shoppers and shippers have increased – consumers want their purchases delivered as quickly as possible. This trend has gained momentum in the last year as consumers experience new methods of fast-paced shopping while staying at home. Consumers expect retailers to offer expedited shipping options, and retailers expect carriers to meet those expectations at cost-effective prices. With heightened expectations, retailers and eCommerce companies that successfully navigate the new environment have an opportunity to increase customer loyalty and retention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

New to 3PL?<\/h3>\n

Why You Need It, How It Helps, and What It Does<\/h4>\n

Third-party logistics (3PL) forms a key component of eCommerce to manage the issues of inventory, warehousing, packing, tracking, shipping, and order fulfillment. Choosing to work with a 3PL allows companies to focus on their core business of product development, sales, and marketing. A 3PL can also adapt to deliver services and technologies that are tailored to the customer\u2019s needs. Start-up, small, and mid-sized companies need the right partner to help fuel their growth and profitability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Benefits of 3PL<\/h3>\n

In the eCommerce business, retailers are looking for partners to deliver flexibility, scalability, technology, efficiency, and domain expertise. This is the role that 3PLs take on. When consumers start ordering online more often and are willing to pay expedited deliveries and returns, the seamless integration of these companies with online retail houses becomes imperative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
01Cost Savings<\/h5>\n

Logistics is where 3PL firms specialize. They have extensive networks that usually will be cost and time-efficient, and they have a wider reach than an organization\u2019s supply chain function. They also have exclusive relationships within the logistics sector, greater influence during negotiations, and have leverage to offer greater volume discounts to clients. These factors mean reduced overhead costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
02Gaining an Experienced Partner in Growth<\/h5>\n

When dealing in logistics, transport documentation, import and export, international compliance, and economic regulations are all areas that need consideration. 3PLs are experienced partners that navigate these layers and reduce costly delays, cut down the cycle time, and make a smooth entry into a new region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
03No Distractions From Your Core Competency<\/h5>\n

Handling logistics means getting involved in the management of non-core but critical functions. Outsourcing logistics to a 3PL gives companies the extra bandwidth to focus on core competencies. Your business, therefore, enjoys the benefits of logistical expertise without diverting additional internal resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
04Grow Your Business and Expand Your Reach<\/h5>\n

A 3PL partner gives your organization hassle-free access to new markets. While never an easy proposition, 3PLs either already have the reach or have the capability to launch quickly. ECommerce companies usually don\u2019t have the resources or expertise to anticipate unforeseen challenges while laying out capital that can be used on product development, marketing, and other key initiatives. It also allows for better inventory management which frees up cash flow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
