If you think one fulfillment 3PL is as good as the next, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise when your fulfillment services provider fails you. Not all order fulfillment partners have the same capabilities or operate according to industry best practices. It can take months or more to extricate your business from an unfulfilling fulfillment relationship, so make sure you pick the best 3PL for the job upfront.

The Sonoran Desert where I live may seem like a hostile environment, with as little as 3-15 inches (7-38 cm) of annual rain and scorching sun that can reach 118 F (47 C). Yet plants, animals, and Native peoples thrive in this environment with resourcefulness and adaptability. The future of supply chain I foresee brings new risks and challenges, along with recognition that doing things the same way will no longer lead to the same success.

In online retail, it’s common knowledge that high eCommerce shipping costs or long delivery times cause most online shoppers to abandon their digital shopping carts and seek better deals elsewhere. Most online buyers expect delivery within two days, and they expect that service to be free. While eCommerce sellers bake those “free” shipping costs into the prices of the products, that strategy won’t work if shipping costs negatively impact the seller’s overall cost-competitiveness.

Warehouse Labor Woes are Worse than Ever. On the surface, the jobs report in the US looked positive. Unemployment had fallen to 4.8 percent. But more people left the job force than joined it. (The math makes it seem like the unemployment rate should have gone up, but the unemployment rate reflects those actively looking for work.). Many sectors that pay low wages have struggled to find workers.

When outsourcing fulfillment services, you want your partner to be an extension of your own team. Is that your experience? Is your provider’s customer service team available to address your issues and answer your questions – fast? Ideally, the answer should always be ‘yes.’ In reality, it depends on the partner you’ve chosen.

When sales forecasts are accurate, companies know they’ll have enough product supply to meet customer demand for those goods. And even if there’s an imbalance, good forecasts allow organizations to course-correct before a real problem emerges. When forecasts are wrong, or when organizations don’t take the time to plan them out in advance, the exact opposite occurs: product outages surface and issues can’t be solved in time.
