What is third-party warehousing and its characteristics?

Third-party warehousing, also known as warehouse delivery and warehousing, means that after you sign a contract, you put the goods in someone else's warehouse, deliver them to consumers according to the order, and then the third-party warehousing company collects service fees regularly according to the contract! To put it more bluntly, it is a third-party warehousing company that provides warehousing and distribution services for merchants, enterprises or distributors, which is what we often call consignment service!

At present, many domestic e-commerce companies outsource warehousing and logistics business. From product warehousing to warehousing, management procedures are all completed by third-party companies, as long as a staff member is appointed to dock this part of warehousing operations.

2. Logistics express delivery costs are lower.

Using the services of third-party e-commerce warehousing companies, enterprises can not only save warehousing costs, but also produce scale effects in express delivery and reduce express delivery costs.

3. The software and hardware facilities are more advanced.

Third-party warehousing companies have more advanced software and hardware facilities, more professional warehousing management, picking and packaging, and higher distribution efficiency, which can effectively improve the service level. In addition, due to the large shipment of warehousing companies, the courier fee can obtain more competitive prices, which can effectively reduce logistics costs.
