E-commerce companies use 3PL transportation services to receive new stocks from the manufacturer for quality checks and to send these stocks further on to fulfillment centers.
Running a business, especially an e-comm business, can be very overwhelming. Several activities are going on at once that a business owner needs to manage to run a successful company. To help e-commerce companies, especially those that fall in the small – medium-sized bracket, 3PL logistics is an essential investment.
3PLs take complete responsibility for ensuring that a product reaches a customer safely. This process can start from the moment the inventory leaves the manufacturer or when the inventory is received at a 3PL fulfillment center.
YT Global Logistics is committed to being with its clients at every step of the way. From transporting new inventory to fulfillment centers to finally shipping out the order to the end customer, we can manage everything.
Here’s a quick look at the basic operations that we handle on an everyday basis for an e-commerce business owner –
- Transportation
The client can choose to engage our services for transferring inventory from the manufacturing hub to their office for quality checks. After the quality checks, the inventory can be sent to our fulfillment centers using our transport services once again.
- Receiving Inventory at Fulfillment Centers
Most small and mid-sized e-commerce businesses cannot carry out order fulfillment. They don’t have enough employees to take care of packing, labeling, and shipping.
In such cases, the services of 3PL logistics companies like YT Global are engaged to manage order fulfillment.
The order fulfillment process starts with receiving inventory from the client. As mentioned above, the client can engage the services of YT Global to transport the inventory to the fulfillment center.
Once the inventory is received, it is strategically stored in the warehouse to help the client save money, expedite quick deliveries, and keep the products safe.
- Packing, Labelling & Shipping
When a customer places an order, the fulfillment centers start preparing to dispatch the order. They pick out the products, pack them, label them and ship them using a preferred carrier.
- Returns Management
There are several reasons behind a customer returning a product. The client can give us instructions on how we should deal with a returned product. The most common choices include restocking the product or disposing of the product.
