E-Commerce Supply Chain
As an e-commerce owner or manager, you understand how complex the supply chain is and how much more complex it becomes with time. In order to create an efficient and simple transaction process for the consumer, more and more moving parts and middle men have to be added, especially for larger e-commerce companies. That has led to these 4 parts of the e-commerce supply chain:
Suppliers: These are the people that manufacture the product that you’re selling and ship them to either fulfillment centers or distribution hubs.
Fulfillment Centers: This is where we come in. For e-commerce, there will be people buying your products all across the map. That means you need different order fulfillment centers in different areas throughout the United States or even internationally. This allows you to split your inventory to be stored in different locations and make shipping cheaper and quicker for your customers. Luckily, we have locations in both Des Moines, Iowa and in Lynchburg, Virginia. This means we can help you reach customers across a large area of the United States.
Distribution Hubs: These are similar to fulfillment centers, which is why the distinction between the two is often unnoticed. They both act as a warehouse for your products, but distribution centers don’t directly ship to customers. This instead acts as a transit point for products. The use of distribution hubs and fulfillment centers can vary from business to business depending on your needs. A friendly Blue Ridge representative is ready to help you decide what is best to help your company.
Sorting Facilities: Some businesses will use a separate facility to sort their products, especially for bulk shipments. Others use third-party logistics companies like Blue Ridge that can handle warehousing and sorting.
Carriers: It all comes down to last-mile delivery. In an age where free and fast delivery is king to the e-commerce world, this is incredibly important. Here at Blue Ridge Logistics, we handle last-mile delivery to save you time and money.
This can seem incredibly complex. Customers expect efficient shipping, and your job as an e-commerce owner or manager is to determine the best way to achieve this as possible. However, by going with Blue Ridge Logistics, you truly will have no worries as we are a true full-service third-party logistics provider.
