WayPoint Logistics: Warehousing and Fulfillment Simplified

Have you been thinking about getting in on the "American Dream"? Have you contemplated becoming one of the twenty-seven million entrepreneurs in the United States?

No matter what kind of business you have decided to pursue, proper fulfillment is a must. Whether it’s an e-commerce based business, a brick and mortar store, or a mom and pop shop, you've probably thought about warehousing, shipping, and fulfillment.

Making sales and gaining new clientele will always be the most exciting part, but what happens after the order is placed? How does your customer receive the product? How does it get from your hands to their hands?

There are a few ways this could be possible.

You sell a product from a drop shipper who will fulfill the orders for you.
You fulfill your orders, alone, or with a team of people.
You hire a logistics company who will handle your warehousing and fulfillment for you.

Of course, you are going to have some clear benefits for packing and shipping your order and products: it's much more flexible than the alternatives and usually cheaper. For these reasons alone many businesses that are just starting out go this route to be sensible and cost conscientious. Other reasons companies may decide to handle their own logistics needs due to specialty or unique packaging needs.

Despite the age or market, any company that is fighting with cash flow issues will be better off handling things in-house. Often start-ups find themselves in a situation where they have much more time to spend than money.

Nevertheless, if your business is progressing rapidly, and you have the capital on hand to outsource, it may be time to explore what options and solutions a third-party logistics, warehousing, and fulfillment company may have for you.

Many third-party logistics companies will store, pack, and ship your products as they are ordered. While working with third-party logistics companies can be intimidating if you've never had experience with doing so before. WayPoint Logistics strives to be as professional, transparent and as non-intimidating as possible.

The Beauty and Simplicity of using Third-Party Logistics

Of course, there are many apparent benefits to using a third-party logistics company. The first and most prominent being that now you do not have to do it all alone. However list of benefits is surprisingly much longer than that. Partner with a company like WayPoint Logistics for your warehousing and fulfillment can have a very positive, and meaningful impact on your business.

Less Staff - Less Payroll

Let's face it when fulfilling your own orders; you'll likely need to hire staff as your business grows. Payroll and staff management takes time and money, hiring employees also adds legal complexities and liabilities to your companies bottom line. If your company is still expanding or in fluctuation, you may be wary of promising someone a job for precisely these reasons. Instead, you can partner with WayPoint Logistics and let them be responsible for management and payroll of the needed resources to keep your fulfillment process on track.
