Meet Those End Of The Year Goals: Why It Helps To Outsource Logistics

Outsource Logistics

We’re sure you and your customers have heard it time and time again, especially this year: shop earlier in order to ensure all of your orders arrive on time before the holidays.

Customers are counting on you to process and deliver their gifts to loved ones this year, because many of them won’t be able to do it in-person themselves. In order to satisfy (and, ideally, go above and beyond), you’re going to want to outsource logistics.

A lot of goals may have been lost on us this year, but if you’re determined to meet those end of the year goals, we’re here to help you do that.

 

Where to begin

It could be that you’re totally new to outsourcing, or maybe you’re a veteran. Either way, there’s always room to improve.

And, in either situation, you can grade your current fulfillment efforts to determine what part of your business needs the most help. It’ll give you a good idea on where to start outsourcing logistics.

Most companies establish goals for their fulfillment program and then identify metrics they can use over time to evaluate progress. Often, though, those metrics don’t tell the whole story. You can grade the performance of your current 3rd party partner and also see where you might be missing out on broader benefits. The results might surprise you.

If you’re not working with the right people, you surely won’t meet those end of year goals. Be smart about who you outsource logistics to and you’ll come out on top.

 

What’s next

Warehousing, pick and pack, and shipping operations aren’t merely “logistics” that move things from one location to another. Every detail affects your customer’s buying experience. Top-grade performance requires speedy delivery or a perfectly accurate order in a package that reflects beautifully on your company. That’s a lot more than satisfactory.

If you’re in the dietary supplements or health and beauty business, you can’t afford less-than-stellar warehousing and related services. You have to comply with stringent product safety requirements and protect the integrity of your products in order to protect customers. And no matter what you sell, if your brand is synonymous with first-class quality, then your fulfillment program must reinforce that with every order.

The right fulfillment partner is the one that can consistently and reliably meet all your expectations. Not only everyday requirements, but predictable and unforeseen volume fluctuations. All without missing a beat – or making mistakes.

 

You can start now

You don’t have to wait. And, to be honest, you shouldn’t wait. If you’re dedicated to getting customers orders into their hands this holiday season – and every holiday season to come – then you’re ready to take the next step and outsource logistics.

Give us a call now, we’d love to chat.
