How to Find The Right E-Commerce Management Company | AWM

Are you an online store owner looking to outsource your operations to a reliable eCommerce management company? Well, you will come across several companies that offer solely Amazon and/or Walmart automation services.

But should you work with them? The problem with most of these companies is that they don’t specify the fulfillment model or offer marketplace-based packages to their clients. This not only limits their clients’ investments but also puts them at risk (by putting all of their eggs into one basket).

The risk is simple. If something happens with their account, by either mismanagement or bad luck (such as an unknown termination, suspension, or something else), the clients will lose their only source of income with no guaranteed passive cash flow.

How do you avoid such a big risk? That’s where you need to work with an eCommerce management company that understands the ins and outs of Amazon and Walmart fulfillment models (dropshipping as well as wholesale) along with how the third-party logistics (3PL) model work.

In this article, we discuss why the whole 3PL model is critical from an eCommerce-specific management perspective and how you can choose the right partner to trust your investment with.

The Need for Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Providers

A 3PL provider offers customers a range of delivery, storage, transportation, and fulfillment services. You can easily outsource these kinds of operations to the 3PL provider and count on them to provide end-to-end management of specific services.

A 3PL provider is an essential part of supply chain management and offers logistics services in the following areas:

Procurement – They order and receive products from elsewhere in the supply chain.
Order Fulfillment – They receive orders from consumers on your behalf, pick and package the orders, and then arrange for the orders to be completed and dispatched.
Storage – Some 3PL providers also provide temporary storage for products in warehouses and similar sites.
Transport – They even help customers with consolidating, deconsolidating, managing, and transporting items.

3PL providers also offer a variety of additional services such as IT systems integration, reporting, inventory management, reverse logistics, and more.

What to Look for in an eCommerce Management Company

Before you choose to work with a 3PL provider, consider the following factors:

1. eCommerce Expertise & Skills

The eCommerce partner you choose should have the necessary skills to bring in new customers. These skills include suitable knowledge about different eCommerce marketplaces such as Amazon and Walmart, analysis of existing market requirements, the ability to evaluate and manage several accounts and interpret them in the form of comprehensive reports, etc.

All these skills particularly prove to be useful for emerging companies that do not have sufficient market exposure. Therefore, collaborating with an experienced eCommerce management company with the right skills will help you bridge the gap.

2. Efficient Workflow in Online Retail Logistics

As mentioned earlier, building and automating an Amazon or Walmart store isn’t enough to run a successful eCommerce venture that consistently yields passive income. Instead, you need someone to help you with the more challenging tasks such as fulfillment, storage, and delivery.

A skilled eCommerce management company can not only help you build a user-friendly storefront, but also automate the workflow to ensure all business processes run smoothly. From receiving and processing orders to storing and delivering them, a 3PL partner should be able to help you achieve a greater degree of efficiency in every step of your work.

3. Data Evaluation and Insights for Growth

An eCommerce management company’s job shouldn’t stop when your store goes live. Instead, they should continue working with you to ensure that your business progresses on the right track.

For instance, at AWM, we use the preliminary test data from your selling history to determine your best-performing inventory groups. We use these insights to improve your asset allocation. We also analyze and compare market trends, winning products, and re-evaluate your latest product line to produce the highest profits possible.
