Shipping and logistics

Every day, millions of products are transported across the globe—some in boxes small enough for one person to carry, and others secured by pallets that have to be moved with a forklift. Naturally, the size of a shipment determines the method used to transport it. That’s where LTL and parcel shipping come in.

Online shopping rose in popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic, and it isn’t going anywhere. Shoppers want to be able to make their purchases in a way that works best for them. Your business can take advantage of consumers' need for flexible shopping options by implementing an omnichannel supply chain.

Imagine going on a long-awaited vacation. You wouldn’t just show up at the airport and hope for the best, right? Instead, you’d plan ahead by purchasing a plane ticket, booking a hotel, and packing your bags. Ecommerce logistics is similar to planning your big trip. Products don’t get from point A to point B on their own—businesses must carefully develop a process for sending out orders. 

Robotic arms grasp packages, autonomous vehicles navigate between shelves, and drones swoop down to leave orders on doorsteps. Sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, right? Although a fully-automated order fulfillment process might still be the future, automation is one of the biggest logistics trends of 2023.

Adopting an omnichannel distribution strategy allows companies to connect with customers and provide a personalized shopping experience.

Omnichannel fulfillment brings brick-and-mortar stores, ecommerce sites, apps, social media platforms, and more into an integrated system, giving customers a flexible, convenient, and smooth shopping experience.
