Fulfillment centers in Europe: Why the Network of Transportation Lines Matters

Fulfillment companies play a pivotal role in the supply chain, particularly by ensuring the most efficient delivery of products to e-commerce businesses’ customers. Logistics constitutes a crucial component of the e-shop business process, and utilizing the services of a 3PL fulfillment provider with its own transportation network confers a significant advantage over competitors.

The presence of its own transport lines allows for greater control over the delivery process, resulting in faster and more reliable delivery times as well as reduced shipping costs. Additionally, it offers more flexibility to tailor logistical solutions to the customers’ needs, thus propelling the e-shop ahead of its competition.
