Fulfillment Provider: When It’s Time for a Change?

In the world of e-commerce, flawless processing of orders is crucial to ensuring customer satisfaction and maintaining a competitive advantage. The fulfillment provider, also known as a third-party logistics company (3PL), plays a key role in ensuring logistics for e-commerce clients.

In short, it ensures that your goods are securely stored, orders are processed quickly and accurately, and additional services such as international delivery solutions, return processing, and the like are provided. However, especially during peak seasons, such as Christmas, situations may arise where your logistics fall behind, delays occur, error rates increase, and customers turn to other e-shops.

Reverse Logistics: A Complete Guide to E-commerce Return Management

With the increase in e-commerce orders, the volume of returned shipments is also rising. Hence, no e-shop should underestimate its reverse logistics. Its role is to manage returned merchandise, either by reintroducing it into the offering, repairing it, or recycling the products.

According to Invesp, an online customer is likely to return up to a minimum of 30 percent of the products they order for various reasons. This stands in stark comparison to brick-and-mortar stores, where return rates are nearly 9 percent, a significantly lesser concern.

Furthermore, returns have a negative impact on the environment. Within e-commerce, returned products are the second-largest source of air emissions, according to statistics from the Statista portal. These returns contribute to approximately a quarter of emissions in this context.

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.

In this regard, an e-commerce business must cover several important pillars. One of them is the e-shop itself and its capabilities, to ensure flawless logistics and to get the e-shop in front of people with various marketing campaigns.

One pillar without the other can’t function, and the seller often can’t handle all three at once. As a result, e-commerce businesses are increasingly relying on third parties to assist or advance them with individual pillars over their competition.
