3PL

Outsourcing order fulfillment can bring many advantages to your company. Three of those advantages direct affect your bottom line and your company’s ability to grow. That’s serious business. So let’s zero in on how 3PL outsourcing might transform your business.

1. Delete a non-core department.

Your business is retail. You make and/or sell products for B2C or B2B customers. The word “fulfillment” does not appear in your mission statement, yet you have to take and ship customer orders in order to complete your sales cycle. So you have operations that constitute a “necessary evil.” Outsourcing to the right 3PL company can relieve the burden and boost results.

2. Give sales a needed lift.

Your current fulfillment efforts lack the luster necessary to impress customers. They love your products but the ordering process and/or delivery experience doesn’t measure up. Sales are stagnating. Or, worse, your fulfillment is so poor, customers are leaving in droves. You have a sales emergency. Outsourcing to the right 3PL company can relieve the burden and boost results.

3. Support and strengthen your brand.

Your brand stands for excellence. Everybody knows it. Unfortunately, since your current fulfillment program cannot get things right, customers are losing trust in your company. They’re losing patience, too. No wonder sales are dropping. You have a branding emergency. Outsourcing to the right 3PL company can relieve the burden and boost results.

 

Outsourcing is simply a better way.

Of course you have to pick the right 3PL partner if you want to enjoy all the benefits. But just think for a moment what your company will gain from the three advantages listed above. You can jettison a non-core department and redirect those considerable resources to something more productive. And remunerative. You can sell more product. And you can restore luster and loyalty to your brand.

 

Think of all the money you’ll save on antacids and headache relievers. Think how rested you’ll feel without all those sleepless nights. You’ll be energized and alert – ready to suss out and take on new opportunities to grow your clientele. And create amazing new products.

 

You’ll be a hero.

They may even give you a cape. Or a dedicated parking space. Or that corner office with the killer view you’ve been eyeing. All because you recognized that 3PL outsourcing could bring three incredible advantages to your company.
