Running your own eCommerce business can be a lot of fun, and very profitable. You’re creating a brand and choosing products that represent your brand. You have customers from all over the world come to your website and place orders. You then fill and ship out those orders. Eventually, though, it becomes too much. You’re spending too much time on filling and shipping and not enough time on building your brand and business. As your fulfillment gets more complicated your returns begin to pile up. Partnering with 3PL warehouse makes your job easier and benefits your company in a variety of ways. TJSF is an Omaha 3PL warehouse centrally located making it ideal for US-based eCommerce operations.
Your Life Just Got Easier and More Profitable
When you outsource your warehousing and distribution to a trusted 3rd party warehouse it means your company is growing, and that’s a good thing. Most Fortune 500 companies use 3PL warehouse services because they know specialists can handle these tasks better, faster, and cheaper than they can internally.
Let’s take a look at some of the major benefits of working with us:
Optimized Product Supply
When your orders are not filled quickly and shipped you lose customers. On the other hand, you don’t want to be paying a warehouse to store product that isn’t shipping regularly. Luckily for you, our 3PL has the tools to take your data and determine how much of each item should be in stock at any given time. Ultimately this ends up saving you money and prevents the disappointment of backorder for shoppers.
Speed and Accuracy
If you’re operating your fulfillment and shipping from your office or rented space, you’re it’s going to be difficult to do the job fast and avoid error. Not because you’re not competent, but because the layout is not optimized for the job. Our 3PL warehouse is set up for speed and accuracy. Every package receives multiple checks before it ships.
Managing Returns
Do you have a cost-effective plan for returned items? Many businesses don’t have a set procedure. They get a return and it ends up sitting on a shelf instead of being immediately returned to inventory. 3PL return management can take a return and move it quickly back to inventory or to a secondary market so you can recoup some of the value of the product.
Reducing Returns
No company likes returned items. But when they come it’s important to understand what is causing the items to be returned. A good 3PL warehouse has the ability to collect and analyze a lot of critical data, including data related to your returns. By asking targeted questions to customers a 3PL can help you figure out the real reason you’re getting so many returns. Maybe your photos aren’t accurately depicting the product. Maybe your size charts are off. Whatever it may be, a 3PL can help you solve the issue.
