There are many reasons why you may have started your business.
Whatever your reasons were, you want to grow something that you’re proud of…
And how your business’ logistics operate is a crucial part of this.

When your inventory management and order fulfilment starts to get out of hand, that’s when it’s time to look for support.
A Third Party Logistics company, or 3PL, takes care of your inventory and logistics for you.

A business can reach a point where the logistics of running the operation become too difficult to handle in-house, and at this point, many businesses turn to 3PL providers for help. So, you can focus on your business.

Barcodes are the most common form of stock identification. They are made up of a series of vertical black and white stripes. The Barcodes provide information about the product when scanned by a special scanner.

When building an eCommerce business, it’s crucial that you’re completely across your inventory and stock movements.
Without a clear identification system in place as your sales volumes grow, things can get messy.

When it comes to building a customer base and growing your business, it’s easier and less expensive to retain and grow your existing customers. To achieve this, delivering a high level of customer service is crucial.

One of the most important aspects of running a successful eCommerce brand is picking and packing your products. Why? It’s the handover point from your business to your customer and gives the first impression of the product.

3PL warehouses use barcodes to identify the bays in the warehouse where products are stored. This means every space in a warehouse has a specific address which results in greater picking efficiency and more accurate stock control.

When running your eCommerce business, it may seem cost-effective to manage the logistics yourself. Until you start doing it, it soon becomes apparent, that logistics is complex and time-consuming which is when a 3PL can be viable.
