E-commerce

January 10, 2018 by karl

Online sales continue to grow at an astounding rate. Today’s e-tailers are faced with unprecedented expectations when it comes to meeting consumer demand We live in a world where next day e-commerce delivery is considered the standard, and oftentimes there are many other sellers willing to get it to you same day for the same price.

These heightened expectations from customers combined with limitless online availability, has made the Direct to Consumer marketplace more competitive than ever. In order to survive, companies have no choice but to evolve continuously their e-commerce logistics and distribution strategies:

Big corporations have regionalized their supply chains in order to support a quicker fulfilment strategy. They are deploying outsourced fleets, like Expak Logistics, to benefit from later order cut off times, earlier e-commerce deliveries and better visibility, all at a reduced cost
Other e-tailers and retailers are taking on expert supply chain partners, to support regional distribution and fulfilment. Expak e-commerce courier services strategically place inventory in key markets for quicker e-commerce delivery to ensure companies remain competitive
Others are leveraging some type of a pool distribution strategy. This can result in costly physical expansion into an increasingly decentralized distribution strategy with multiple distribution centers blanketing the country.
There are those, of course, that continue to approach it in the traditional fashion, and utilize national parcel carriers at a higher cost and no personal service.

Regardless of which strategy our e-commerce customers choose, the end goal is always the same… getting their products to their customers quicker and with certainty, cost effectively.
