Ensuring Your 3PL business is Equipped to Handle Increased Shipping Demand
Research shows 26% of online shoppers abandon purchases due to long shipping times, and as a result many online and multi-channel retailers have attempted to meet consumer needs by adding new delivery options to their offerings.

Why A Multi-Carrier Shipping Strategy Is Essential For E-commerce Businesses
If you are an online seller that has scaled your business, either on your own site or through utilising multiple platforms and markets places such Notonthehighstreet (NOTHS), Etsy, eBay or Amazon, then you’ll be keeping a close eye on revenue, percentage points, overhead and net worth. But if keeping costs low and profits high is important to you (why wouldn't it be?) then there is one area you may have overlooked when it comes to growing your business, improving customer satisfaction and cuting costs.
The answer? Striking deals with multiple shipping carriers and implementing a multi carrier approach.
Post Covid 3PL Problems

What Should a Fully Integrated E-commerce Platform Look Like For SMEs?
Do you need an E-commerce platform that can keep up with your ambition? E-commerce levels have boomed under Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, stretching supply chains and forcing sellers like you to look at ways to improve fulfilment.
As a growing SME, you might have looked at methods of expansion this year or last – perhaps using a 3PL, changing where or what you sell – or even growing your team. If you’ve noticed frequent issues that are holding you back, you might need a more integrated way to do business and you’re planning on working with a new E-commerce platform. But first – is that all you need? Let’s dive in.
Turning Your 3PL Into An E-commerce Powerhouse With An Order Management System
If you own a third-party logistics (3PLs) company and are growing your customer base with a view to becoming an industry dynamo, having a warehouse management system (WMS) to handle your operations is a given. 3PLs today couldn’t function properly without one.
But many 3PLs and fulfilment houses can bolster operations further and get a slice of the E-commerce boom by using a cloud-based order management system (OMS) that allows you to focus on expanding your business with the peace of mind in knowing the company’s daily tasks are being handled with the right tech.

As an online retailer, you naturally strive for excellent consumer service throughout your customer’s buying experience.

How important are the experiences later in the buying process (such as shipping, tracking, safe delivery) and why is it important to choose these partners wisely?
4 benefits to retailers selling online
The effects of COVID-19 on the high street and retail will be far-reaching, long after the storm has calmed. As well as social distancing measures being predicted to be in place in some capacity for months, it has forced many people into changing the way they shop. Unlike the doomsday predictions such as ‘death of the high street’, commentators believe this will prompt many small retailers to address their overreliance on being purely bricks and mortar.
