Regional Inventory Management Services<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The best part of owning an ecommerce business is the ability to reach customers across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But many online brands make the mistake of storing inventory close to where they operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A better strategy is to split inventory<\/a> across locations to reach your customers faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With ShipBob, online brands can outsource regional inventory management<\/a> and fulfilment, so they can grow their business while spending less time on logistics operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is regional inventory?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regional inventory refers to inventory stored in specific locations based on demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regional inventory requires distribution management<\/a> and a team to store, pick and pack, and ship inventory from a nearby location. This allows orders to be fulfilled closer to customers to reduce shipping costs and transit times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing regional inventory in several different locations requires a robust team, resources, and technology. But with a 3PL, you can outsource regional inventory management to save time and money on operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s regional inventory management services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob offers a network of fulfilment centres<\/a> to help you strategically expand into new distribution locations based on where your customers are located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This not only speeds up order delivery and reduces shipping costs<\/a>, but it also helps mitigate risks in case of unexpected warehouse closures or inability of couriers to pick up from the facility due to bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you connect your store to ShipBob\u2019s technology, you can send inventory to one or more of our fulfilment centre locations by filling out a warehouse receiving order (WRO)<\/a>. Once we receive your inventory, we store it until orders are routed to the nearest location to be picked, packed and shipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using ShipBob\u2019s dashboard, you can view the status of inventory and quantity on hand<\/a> across locations at any point in time, identify slow-moving inventory with high storage costs, and gain insights into the performance of units sold over time by channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it much easier to track inventory by increasing inventory visibility<\/a> and providing insights into when it\u2019s time to replenish inventory<\/a>, run a promotion, and track slow-moving items that are no longer generating sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our built-in inventory management tools helps you set reminders to proactively replenish inventory<\/a> with reorder notifications, easily setup product bundling<\/a>, make inventory transfer requests, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are growing really fast and won\u2019t slow down anytime soon. With ShipBob, we have the option to use more of their warehouses to further reduce shipping costs. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because ShipBob has a lot of people to handle our orders and additional warehouses we can expand into, we can scale up with ease as we continue to grow quickly. If we ran our own warehouse, it would be much harder to hire people and we\u2019d inevitably outgrow the space.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distributed inventory<\/h2>\n\n\n

With ShipBob\u2019s network of fulfilment centres, you can strategically split your inventory across our locations to get your products from point A to point B more quickly and affordably. Storing inventory near your customers helps reduce the shipping zones and costs associated with shipping orders to faraway destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n

Distributed inventory also helps you stay competitive by offering fast shipping to your customers. When an order is placed, ShipBob\u2019s algorithm automatically selects the warehouse and carrier that will give you the quickest turnaround at the best price. This strategy has helped our merchants bring 13% savings to their bottom line.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

Order management<\/h2>\n\n\n

At ShipBob, we track your orders from A to Z. Filter orders by status, search for specific orders, see a quick timeline view of where your order is in the fulfilment process (e.g. when an order is picked, packed, or shipped), easily find shipping-related information (e.g., weights, dimensions, or carrier service), and get a quick snapshot of any orders that require action.<\/p>\n\n\n

With order management software for your direct-to-consumer and wholesale shipments, you can manage subscriptions, make changes to your orders post-purchase, map your store\u2019s shipping options to ShipBob, and automatically share tracking information with your customers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

Data can be a competitive advantage, and our reports show an analysis of which fulfilment centres you should stock, days of inventory left before you run out, impact of promotions on stock levels, each shipping method\u2019s average cart value, shipping cost, and days in transit, your fulfilment cost per order, storage cost per unit, and much more.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>
