One of the advantages of running an ecommerce store as opposed to a retail brick-and-mortar store is that you can reach customers all over the country (or even the world). But there\u2019s one thing to consider: if you are shipping all of your products from a single <\/span>fulfilment centre,<\/span><\/a> but your customers are located across the country, then it\u2019s time to rethink your fulfilment and shipping strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob is a <\/span>third-party logistics<\/span><\/a> (3PL) provider that offers a solution: we offer a growing fulfilment centre network powered by our proprietary technology. This allows you to check your data and store your <\/span>ecommerce inventory<\/span><\/a> in the fulfilment centres nearest to your customer base. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With shortened shipping distances, you\u2019re able to ship faster at an affordable rate. Offering better shipping options for your customers not only help you ship more cost-effectively, but also translate into more sales when customers see cheaper, faster shipping options when placing an online order. Enhancing your shipping can be the game changer that helps your business take off. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe now save a lot of money and ship faster based on distributed inventory. So far, we are shipping out of two of ShipBob\u2019s fulfilment centres. We use the locations that optimise and reduce the distance travelled to get our products into our customers\u2019 hands faster.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streamlined order fulfilment services for Sarasota-based ecommerce companies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Order fulfilment<\/span><\/a> is complex and challenging, and it can be a real drag on your time as an ecommerce merchant, but it doesn\u2019t have to be. ShipBob can optimise your fulfilment strategy, save you a ton of time, and help your business rack up more sales. Here\u2019s how it works: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Ship your products to our fulfilment centres and sync your store with our platform.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. When an order is placed, we\u2019re notified and the fulfilment process begins: picking lists are generated automatically, and our fulfilment professionals <\/span>pick, pack and ship<\/span><\/a> the order quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. You and the customer receive tracking info on the order. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. ShipBob also offers options on how to manage <\/span>ecommerce returns<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep track of inventory levels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Warehouse management<\/span><\/a> is one aspect of order fulfilment that many ecommerce companies struggle with. It\u2019s not just about keeping your warehouse organised, but also ensuring counts always match and that you have enough inventory at all times to avoid <\/span>stockouts<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With ShipBob, <\/span>inventory management<\/span><\/a> is a breeze: you can view counts at each fulfilment centre and set automatic <\/span>reorder points<\/span><\/a>, so you know exactly when you need to restock. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full visibility and transparency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Customers have a question about an order? Do you want an overview of daily order volume? How fast are orders being fulfilled? With ShipBob, you\u2019re given access to our free <\/span>data and analytics<\/span><\/a> tool that provides insights into fulfilment performance, shipping statistics, <\/span>logistics costs<\/span><\/a>, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For orders, you\u2019re given full transparency into the entire retail order fulfilment process<\/a>. Quickly search for orders, view the status of all outstanding orders, and track packages with ease. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutting-edge proprietary software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob doesn\u2019t just optimise your shipping by giving you access to <\/span>multiple fulfilment centres<\/span><\/a>. We\u2019ve also built a proprietary software package that streamlines your shipping by searching top mail couriers to find the best routes and shipping rates. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why ShipBob is the best 3PL for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob not only takes fulfilment off your hands, but helps your ecommerce business optimise your supply chain so you can scale at a faster rate. Here are just a few success stories out of thousands that illustrate how we help ecommerce brands grow faster. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scale rapidly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fulfilment puts a strict limit on growth: you can only fulfil as many orders as you have the warehouse space, manpower, and resources to fulfil. By outsourcing fulfilment to ShipBob, you can remove this limit on growth and scale faster with fewer headaches. Health and wellness brand Bloom went from an idea to doing 9 figures in sales<\/strong> with ShipBob handling fulfilment every step of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost-savings on shipping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Distributing your inventory<\/span><\/a> reduces the number of <\/span>shipping zones<\/span><\/a> each package must travel to reach its destination, which ultimately cuts down on <\/span>shipping costs<\/span><\/a> while offering faster shipping. <\/span>Women’s health supplement brand Semaine Health saved $2\/order by distributing inventory across 4 of ShipBob’s fulfilment centres.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picking the right time to outsource fulfilment to a 3PL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many different challenges involved in fulfilment, from <\/span>calculating shipping costs<\/span><\/a> to warehousing, to the pick\/pack\/ship process. Some of these tasks require significant resources, expertise, or infrastructure, and you may not have the desire or ability to build these processes in-house. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right time to <\/span>outsource fulfilment<\/span><\/a> depends on which of these factors are holding your ecommerce business back from growing. Here are some common problems in ecommerce that a 3PL can solve: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
