A trend we’ll see highlighted in November and December is e-tailing’s influence in both business and consumer marketplaces. Online purchasers site convenience and price as motivators for their Internet-based commerce. E-tailers reference their supply chain strategy as core of their business plan’s P&L.
While buyer demand’s driving this commerce movement, access is motivating it. Sellers are providing shoppers cloud software-powered purchasing experiences that are intuitive and unintimidating. Personal computing hardware manufacturers continue an impressive march of headline-grabbing desktop, tablet and telephone options, pared with operating systems people are comfortable using.
Back to supply chains – e-tail volume alone manifests complexities and associated costs. With sales and inbound/outbound shipment volumes increasing, the Internet-enabled global marketplace spotlights the vitality of supply chain effectiveness, and associated cost controls. A driving factor is cost savings wherever possible. Freight carrier service and cost negotiations with shipping bill auditing for accuracy account for a significant portion of these controllable costs, figuring into profit in the P&L equation. Talk to Data2Logistics to consider these cost conservation moves, from an independent prospective.
