Logistics??

 

Logistics is one aspect of eCommerce business that gets neglected a lot, especially in the initial days of operations. Be it cost implications, product return percentage, customer acceptance ratings etc. a lot of factors that can make or break an eCommerce store have a huge dependence on how logistics is handled.

 

For a new eCommerce store, most of the departments are set-up in house, but logistics is something that can only be managed in house if the scale of the store is huge. For new online sellers, this is where the need arises for a third party logistics partner.

 

Now, the question arises how to select the best logistics partner. There are multiple factors while selecting a logistics partner-

 

  • Commercials- Rates highly depend on type of products that the store sells. There are multiple weight slabs provided by logistics companies that can be availed.
  • Delivery Ratios- Companies that have a services team and provide post order placement calling support can help a lot increasing delivery ratios
  • Flexibility in payment options- Wallet options, post-paid billing, and Billing adjustment from COD remittances are options available based on your comfort
  • Remittance Cycles- Based on the number of orders and number of COD orders, COD amount remittance can be scheduled to improve Cash flows
  • Pin code Serviceability- Not all courier providers promise all-India serviceability, some also charge extra for selected pin codes.
  • Product Weight Reconciliation- This is one of the most neglected part. Best logistics partner is one that provides dedicated support so that correct weights are charged extra.
