You will be surprised how much money you will save with a logistics operator
We are all going to feel the pinch of rising costs in the coming months, and eCommerce businesses will be no exception. The creation and online order fulfillment is already an expensive task, which will increase as prices rise.
If you’re managing your eCommerce sales in-house and without third-party support, your spending can spiral out of control. With the help of a logistics operator, you can:
- Reduce these costs considerably
- Optimize packaging and shipping costs
- Manage essential aspects of your business
- Expert team with experience in different industries
At SAVAR express, we can reduce your costs despite the increase in prices, through the methods of fulfillment professional that we incorporate in our logistics solution.
Packaging costs
Packaging is a largely overlooked element in eCommerce sales. The material cost of all that much-needed product protection really adds up!
Fulfillment companies that specialize in shipping can identify all the best practices for arranging deliveries and will also buy the correct and most effective packaging materials in bulk. This can lead to greatly reduced costs for companies that would otherwise be paying the same for these materials independently.
We cannot overstate the importance of using product-specific packaging. No two items are the same and each requires different specifications, both from the point of view of view of profitability as specific requirements.
Logistics operators have access to the best resources available and will know how to make the presentation look professional, as well as being practical for shipping.
The importance of returns
Customer returns, also known as reverse logistics, is a process that can end up costing a company a large sum of money if it is not a simplified and convenient process. Unexpected costs will accumulate when resources for returns are diverted from other areas of a company’s function, not to mention the cost required to reimburse customers for receiving damaged products.
Whether it’s the expense of reselling a product or dealing with faulty or damaged products, customer returns are an unavoidable occurrence that ends up costing a business dearly. E-commerce fashion retailers particularly suffer from negative returns processes.
Logistics operators can deal with all these problems through a strategic and effective process that will save the company money, time and effort. SAVAR reduces return costs thanks to our advanced eCommerce-focused software that monitors every step of the fulfillment process, including an easy tracking system that customers use to stay fully up to date with their returns.
How a logistics operator can help
You can manage all of these criteria without a fulfillment provider, but unless you’re willing to devote a significant amount of your resources and time to planning and performing all necessary aspects of fulfillment, from picking, packing, and shipping orders to waste management and recycling. You will really need the help of an expert.
