Over time, as an entrepreneur grows, new challenges arise related to logistics. Warehouses become too small, the need for sales to other countries increases, etc. and instead of the entrepreneur remaining focused on supply and sales, he ends up spending an unnecessary amount of time in the warehouse struggling with logistics processes. Shifting the focus away from supply and sales can slow down the growth of his company and in the end, the logistics processes he manages to organize are often less successful than those of an MBE that specializes only in logistics. In the E-Commerce environment, there are good opportunities for solving logistics problems and an increasingly popular step is to get rid of unnecessary responsibility and leave logistics to MBE centers that are external logistics partners.
MBE centers can take care of warehousing, ordering, packaging, domestic and international shipping, cash on delivery processing, returns management and much more. In addition to ensuring secure logistics, MBE centers can even bring several other benefits to e-commerce companies. Therefore, we have prepared an overview of the most important benefits that, in our opinion, can put your e-commerce one step ahead of the competition.
Fear of the unknown is natural. This also applies to logistics outsourcing.
For small and medium-sized companies, choosing an experienced and strong fulfillment partner like MBE is just one step away from the strongest competitors on the market. And with the right partner, you can take over part of their dominant position.
Years of experience and established logistics processes help ensure a smooth transition to the new system. The MBE team will be at your disposal at all times during the short-term transition and later in the course of your business.
With MBE Fulfillment, the strength of the big players on the market is gained and the position among the competition is improved. With the MBE Fulfillment service, you can increase not only the number of your customers but also the scope of your business.
No one is perfect and every business has its own strengths and weaknesses. Some of the advantages of e-commerce include:
But, it's hard to stand out in everything, especially if the company doesn't have enough storage capacity, employees, or anything else related to logistics processes.
Among the weaknesses of e-commerce, such as logistics, the entrepreneur has to devote more time than he should. The advantage of using the MBE Fulfillment service is the almost complete elimination of logistical concerns. A good partner like MBE stands out with comprehensive and flawless logistics, which is why the goods will be safely stored, prepared and delivered to the customer within 24 hours if the Express delivery option is chosen or 24-72 hours if the Economy delivery option is chosen. With MBE, the entrepreneur can devote more time to sales, marketing and other activities that bring money and growth to his company.
A good user experience is perhaps the most important factor that will convince the customer to return to the web shop where he made the purchase in the future.
Among the determining factors for returning purchases to a web shop are:
The accuracy of complex items and agreed delivery times influences the decision of up to 87% of online shoppers to buy from a retailer again.
There are days throughout the year that are more demanding for orders than others. These include, for example;
The advantage of a quality MBE Fulfillment service is that the processes are set up so that "season peaks" do not pose any problem, as MBE centers have a custom-made information system for managing warehouse operations that is adjusted to the highest standards and accompanying technology, as well as a sufficient number of employees available.
For fast delivery, we have agreed transport lines in several countries with our partners and good agreements with courier companies for last mile delivery, ensuring that every customer is satisfied.
Information systems and process automation help ensure efficient logistics. For e-commerce, independently providing an information system for managing warehouse operations and supporting technology can be very expensive and sometimes almost impossible.
The advantage of using MBE Fulfillment services is access to technologies that reduce costs and at the same time make processes more efficient. A quality partner such as Mail Boxes Etc. has created its own information system for managing warehouse operations that is adapted to e-commerce, which greatly simplifies outsourcing.
For example, thanks to the Mail Boxes Etc. information system, you can monitor in real time 24/7 (cloud solution):
An MBE client using the MBE Fulfillment service can only profit from the technological advantage they get from MBE, which gives them a significant advantage over the competition.
Below we will list some of the basic things a company needs to deal with if it wants to do warehousing itself;
Moreover, if transportation and last mile delivery are added to the list, logistics can significantly impact a company's revenue. MBE Fulfillment helps avoid several of the above costs.
From a transport point of view, MBE delivery centers have agreed transport lines with partners that run daily in several countries, and have more favorable prices with several courier companies based on higher order volumes.
Also, MBE has large enough warehouses, well-established employees and processes set up to reduce costs. For e-commerce, MBE Fulfillment's service can mean not only fewer worries but also significantly lower costs.
The expansion of e-commerce into international markets is one of the hottest trends in e-commerce. Whether you are looking for expansion opportunities or planning to sell internationally in the future, MBE Fulfillment can be the solution.
MBE centers have the know-how of international shipping rules, which will save you hours or even days of studying foreign websites. In addition, they already have an established international network, so expanding to any country should not be a problem with the right partner.
The goal of our services is primarily to facilitate your business. We rely on complex services that can be adapted to the needs of MBE clients.
