Home | Hughes Enterprises Blog | Buy Now: How E-Commerce Is Affecting Your Warehouse Shipping Operations
Shipping in the United States is seeing record highs, and many industry experts attribute this to the so-called “Amazon effect.” Traditional brick and mortar retailers have long grappled with how to best adapt the online shipping giant, but it’s also affecting other e-commerce distribution centers operations as well.
Amazon has had tremendous influence in e-commerce; they have dramatically changed the way people buy online, setting high expectations on prices and quick delivery. The result? Your customers expect reliable and accurate delivery of goods ordered online faster than ever.
Amazon’s high-tech robots have automated and transformed their giant fulfillment centers to accommodate same day delivery forcing businesses to respond with more integrated shipping and packaging line solutions. A company’s ability to deal with disbursing items in a timely manner (and have them arrive safely) will set themselves apart from the competition. Packaging efficiency solutions and a savvy shipping strategy will give them the edge they need to stay ahead.
E-Commerce shows no signs of slowing down. The “Amazon effect” has already changed warehouse shipping operations, logistics and brick-and-mortar stores; but by understanding what consumers expect, companies can plan their packing and shipping strategies to provide their customers with what they want. For any e-commerce business, a savvy shipping strategy is essential.
