The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed more shoppers online than ever before. This unprecedented strain on the supply chain has strengthened the need for logistics automation. When logistics automation software is used in distribution centres, there is a great opportunity to optimise warehouse operations, automate fulfilment<\/a>, and provide a better customer experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What is logistics automation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Logistics automation is using technology and equipment to streamline and speed up warehouse operations and fulfilment processes to improve efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it\u2019s like using an automated logistics & order processing system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The use of automated logistics systems should have a positive effect on overall efficiency and productivity of a distribution centre. Leading fulfilment companies like ShipBob provide automation solutions for ecommerce brands that don\u2019t want to manage a warehouse, purchase automated guided vehicles, and implement automation systems themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Reliable inventory tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tech-enabled 3PLs like ShipBob use inventory tracking<\/a> systems to provide a transparent overview of current stock levels and tools to help automate reordering products before stock is depleted, forecasting inventory<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Lower order fulfilment costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Logistics automation software can provide data to inform you how to distribute your inventory to reduce shipping costs<\/a> so you can decrease overall fulfilment costs<\/a>. That way, each order is automatically routed to the distribution centre nearest the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Faster shipping times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob offers same-day fulfilment for B2C orders imported into the ShipBob dashboard by the time of the outbound fulfilment SLA (ranging from noon to 6pm local time of the fulfilment centre fulfilling it, depending on the location), so the couriers can pick them up and ship them out quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also enable faster shipping times by analising optimal delivery routes and fulfilling orders from the most efficient location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn hour after an influencer ordered from me, he had already received an email saying his order had shipped. If I was fulfilling orders myself, it would have taken me much longer. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the perfect example of ShipBob working how it should, automatically sending tracking info and giving my customers everything they needed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Improved customer experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob offers order tracking<\/a> and gives you the tools to maintain complete control and visibility into warehouse operations, even with you being outside of the four walls of the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, you can outsource fulfilment logistics<\/a> while still maintaining full control, spending far less time on logistics, and getting best-in-class support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How ShipBob automates its warehouses and optimises logistics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob is a leading third-party logistics company or 3PL that allows ecommerce brands to outsource order fulfilment<\/a> while ShipBob automates both order processing and warehouse operations, and gets more orders delivered faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
