Once you’ve had some growth in your e-commerce business, there comes a point when doing everything yourself is no longer the most efficient solution. Maybe you need to change your e-commerce platform, outsource your logistics, or think about alternative solutions to your current warehousing setup. Make sure the systems you choose are not slowing you down.
There are several ways an e-commerce business can handle its logistics, but for many, 3PL, or third-party logistics, is the most efficient and cost-effective solution. When choosing a 3PL partner, you need to consider several things, such as how easily your e-commerce platform and order management system, or OMS, can integrate and how the OMS accelerates your growth rather than hindering it.
For e-commerce businesses, the top priority should be that stock moves in the most efficient way possible.
Traditional systems can be difficult to use with outdated user interfaces. In addition to this, many e-commerce managers might be using multiple tools that must be integrated somehow in order to manage their logistics: pin systems, code systems, product information systems, OMS / order management systems, marketplace distribution platforms...for many, this is just too much.
To avoid all this frustration we developed an e-commerce-dedicated OMS, myOGO. With myOGO you may not need so many different tools, but if you want them, integration is seamlessly easy.
When a system is designed with e-commerce operations in mind, moving stock as quickly as possible is a top priority. Speedy stock movement means more sales and faster growth. Furthermore, such a system must be easy to use, because most e-commerce managers are not IT systems professionals. Integrations must be simple, and ease of use is essential. With myOGO, OGOship’s custom OMS, you can check all these boxes.
