The primary concern of the client was to expand his business in the domains of consumer products and eCommerce. The client also wanted to expand their footprint and customer base. Along with that, one of their biggest worries was assessing fundamental flaws in the downstream distribution process.

Major issues arose in the areas of enhanced delivery accuracy, better packing quality, and the organization's desire to obtain the most up-to-date warehouse automation standards. Thus, they were required to develop innovative ways of doing business, cost-focus strategies, and optimize supply chain operations.

Warehousing Express conducted in-depth research and made necessary adjustments in digital transformation. They also decided to offer the client strategic last-mile delivery and route optimization.

The e-commerce industry is one of the most thriving industries in India. Furthermore, the industry is expected to witness a bull run in the upcoming years. There has been a paradigm shift in the shopping experience, and online shopping practices have been growing consistently. However, with such rapid expansion comes the possibility of new challenges and complexities. Online retailers face some common challenges like inventory management, tracking online orders, order fulfillment, reducing shipping costs, managing returns, and so forth. Similarly, our client was also facing these challenges and thus decided to outsource logistics and warehouse services to Warehousing Express, the leading 3PL provider. Therefore, he was able to focus on his core business, leaving all the logistics concerns to us! This certainly helped the client to expand his customer base and make his business all the more profitable.

Most organizations have discovered that outsourcing supply chain and logistics related functions to third-party logistics (3PL) providers has given them a competitive edge. Businesses cite increased flexibility, operational performance, enhanced service levels, and a stronger focus on their core competencies as perks of using 3PL providers' services. Since logistics outsourcing is a rising trend, the extent and kind of outsourcing vary substantially across time, industries, and enterprises. Some companies employ 3PL providers solely as a source for storage or distribution purposes, whereas others trust them with complete control of their logistics network.

Coming back to the story of our client, he was primarily using our warehouse services, for storing his inventory stock, but later the client decided to outsource all the logistical and e-commerce fulfillment procedures to a renowned 3PL provider- Warehousing Express. This proved to be the best move for him, and helped him scale his business tremendously. If you are an entrepreneur who wants to expand your business, you already know that the best way to do it is to surround yourself with a fantastic team. And yes, a 3PL should be included!
