In China, there are many industries with the development of the market, the water is getting deeper and deeper, and many so-called industry regulations are gradually produced. The domestic fulfillment warehouse industry has been booming for many years since its inception. There are many fulfillment warehouse service providers in the market, but at the same time there are also many unprofessional and troubled merchants who use the gimmick of low prices to attract e-commerce companies to settle in. However, after cooperation, it is easy to cause additional price increases, low delivery efficiency, serious mis-delivery and missed delivery, inventory chaos, customer complaints and many other problems.
As for which Yuncang company is better? This question is a matter of opinion. There is currently no official ranking, but no matter what, Baoshi Fulfillment recommends that you focus on the following four points when looking for Yuncang. It can help you avoid being cheated and pay less "tuition fees."
1. Collect information and find several more companies for comparison.
You can collect more Yuncang company information in advance. Whether you find it through the website or introduce it through a friend, you must "shop around" and do a good analysis of these companies. So how should these analyzes be performed?
(1) Understand the company’s basic information through the Yuncang Company’s official website or WeChat public account;
(2) Understand the scale of the fulfillment warehouse; the company's registration period, number of employees, etc. Generally speaking, the longer the company has been registered and the more people there are, the stronger the company will be, but this does not rule out some newly established and reliable companies with important industry figures in the team;
(3) Understand the company's core business; the company's business should not be too complicated, because too complicated is not professional enough and cannot produce precise results;
(4) Understand the real service cases of Yuncang Company, and whether you have service experience in the same industry, especially relatively complex categories such as clothing, light luxury, fresh food, red wine, etc. If you have not done it before, you may not be able to do it well in the early stage, and the running-in period is too long.
2. Whether the demand can be met
A company that is suitable for its own fulfillment warehouse does not lie in whether its scale is large enough, but in whether it can meet its own needs. It usually needs to consider the warehouse address, warehousing environment (normal temperature, constant temperature, refrigeration, freezing), delivery timeliness, after-sales response speed, system docking, daily order peak processing, return processing, etc. If the fulfillment warehouse company can basically meet these needs and the price is acceptable, then cooperation can be considered.
3. Are fulfillment warehouse charges considered?
There are currently two types of fulfillment warehouse charging models: one is comprehensive charging (warehousing fee + express fee + operating fee + value-added service fee), which is suitable for some relatively complex warehousing and distribution needs. The other is the all-inclusive price, which is charged according to the amount of each order, which is convenient for settlement and suitable for warehouse distribution needs with few SKUs and simple operation. Baoshi recommends giving priority to cost-effective fulfillment warehouses. Both ultra-high and ultra-low prices will have risks in terms of stability and competitiveness. If the price is high, the product profit will be less. If the price is low, the service may not be guaranteed, and there will be a lot of after-sales problems.
4. Field inspection of fulfillment warehouse conditions
You must consider it on the ground. No matter how fancy the fulfillment warehouse service provider is, you can find many problems by taking a look on the ground. When considering a fulfillment warehouse, the safety of goods is the first priority. Check whether the warehouse hardware meets fire protection requirements and whether there are fire protection facilities, including fire sprinklers, smoke sensors, fire hydrants, fire extinguishers, etc. This can ensure the safety of warehouse property and avoid being seized by the fire brigade. Whether the warehouse has a real estate certificate, it must have a real estate certificate, otherwise there is a risk of being demolished at any time.
(1) Whether the fulfillment warehouse environment is clean and tidy, whether the regional divisions are clear, the packaging area, inventory area, warehousing area, return area, and secondary processing area are clear at a glance, and the entire business journey is clear and clear, ensuring the smooth completion of later business.
(2) Team configuration of fulfillment warehouse. The complete fulfillment warehouse team configuration includes: KA group, customer service group, receiving group, inventory group, shipping group, secondary processing group, and IT team. Daily communication and coordination tasks are completed by the KA team, and daily problem handling is completed by the customer service team.
(3) SOP process, whether Yuncang Company has a strictly implemented SOP process, including warehousing, shelving, shipping, returns, and whether there is a complete service system for secondary processing.
(4) Whether there is a complete management system, of which WMS, OMS, and TMS are necessary. What the information system examines is whether the fulfillment warehouse service provider has the ability to cope with complex business formats. Merchants' multi-channel, multi-platform needs the fulfillment warehouse to continuously improve system docking and business matching. It also examines whether the fulfillment warehouse service provider has continuous innovation, improves business processes, and continues to improve stable, reliable, efficient and safe service capabilities.
(5) Personalized warehousing services. When choosing a fulfillment warehouse company, you should pay attention to whether it can provide services that satisfy your own personality, such as: clothing quality inspection and ironing, cosmetics traceability code management, food expiration date control, refined luxury packaging, system docking secondary development, etc.
