Emerging technologies and consumer electronics play a key role in our daily lives. From high-tech accessories and wearable devices to hardware and appliances, new innovations are constantly coming to market. Just browse Kickstarter\u2019s electronics category<\/a> and see for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of the biggest industries in ecommerce, US consumer electronics sales are expected to grow from $351 billion in 2018<\/a> to $419 billion by 2022<\/a>. With more sales comes increasing pressure on the supply chain, including electronics product fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difficulties of fulfilling electronics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you oversee ecommerce fulfilment<\/a> for a consumer electronics company, you are very familiar with the challenges below \u2014 especially if you manage electronics product fulfilment in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing all the different varieties of electronics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the number of SKUs<\/a> you sell, storage and organisation may be hard to keep track of. Having the right warehousing solution<\/a> in place helps ensure the proper movement of inventory, including receiving shipments, placing each SKU into a separate dedicated storage location, and ensuring the right product is sent to its next destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing inventory turnover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many consumer electronics can become dated as newer products get released. And as you grow, you\u2019ll need more consumer electronics on hand at all times to meet demand. However, ordering too much inventory, and you risk having too many outdated products. Too little, and you\u2019ll run out of stock, fail to meet customer demands, and miss out on potential sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with a third-party logistics (3PL<\/a>) provider that lets you set reorder points<\/a> and establish the right reorder quantity<\/a> to keep proper stock levels on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping the products safe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Electronics can be expensive, and keeping them secure is a top priority. Preventing theft by having an established warehouse staffed with security can help, along with inventory tracking<\/a> software to view the status of inventory, quantity on hand at your storage facility, total units sold per day, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handling returns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Defective goods result in returns, which are difficult to handle. Returns will vary across different fulfilment services, and certain consumer electronics may require a more complex return process<\/a>, from testing to repairing. In this case, the best option may be to have customers send returned items back to you directly, so you can handle them and discover any issues impacting manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outsourcing your electronics fulfilment with ShipBob<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no surprise that many consumer electronics companies partner with a (3PL to simplify operations and take the hassle out of electronics fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s which retail fulfilment<\/a> services to look for in a 3PL<\/a> like ShipBob to ensure your consumer electronics will be handled and shipped strategically, quickly, and affordably, while allowing you to focus on growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
