It is reported that many e-commerce sellers have chosen order fulfillment warehouse to transfer warehousing and delivery. Have you ever figure out the following models with e-commerce warehousing and 3rd party logistics companies?
- All-inclusive
For some small and medium-sized e-commerce sellers who are not very large in scale, due to the small number of orders and the small number of products, the cost of operating and maintaining self-leased warehouses is a bit too large, and the price of express delivery will be relatively high, which greatly increases the overall operating cost.
So choosing to outsource all warehousing and delivery to e-commerce warehousing logistics companies is undoubtedly a wise choice. For such small and medium-sized sellers, the savings are far more than just the cost and price, but also the energy and time costs.
- Partial Outsourcing A
This model often appears when some large e-commerce promotions are coming, such as Christmas carnival and Black Friday. During large-scale promotional activities, many e-commerce companies will have insufficient staff and excessive orders.
Then this part of e-commerce sellers may choose to cooperate with third-party warehousing and logistics companies for delivery, and deliver some of the hot-selling products in the warehouse to the e-commerce warehouse to ensure the timeliness of delivery and warehouse management, so as to give the store bring more benefits.
- Partial Outsourcing B
Part of the outsourcing mentioned this time refers to the e-commerce sellers outsourcing some of the popular products or new products to a third-party warehouse during the non-big promotion period, helping themselves to share part of the pressure, or through this partial outsourcing method.
Test the service quality of the warehousing logistics company, and after the expected cooperation effect is achieved, consider putting more goods into the third-party warehouse.
As for those e-commerce sellers who do not choose outsourcing service, in most cases they have large enough or small enough scales. On the one hand, they have enough economic capital and ability to build warehouses, and they have close relationships with express logistics companies.
There is no need to worry about high costs and insufficient energy for the cooperation; On the other hand, because their scale is small enough, the number of orders and the products are small, there is no need to rent warehouses and hire people to assist. Generally speaking, just a few people can be handle all the work.
