Increase your revenues by avoiding stock-outs
If you are not able to meet your customers’ demands due to a stockout, nothing will stop them from going to a competitor. Regardless of the size of your business, lost sales over a period of time can have serious consequences. While overstocking can impact your profitability, being out of stock is an even worse situation for any merchant. This is because in the latter case you cannot make any profit. However, profitability is not the only factor at stake. A stockout is also an inability to meet customer needs, which has a negative impact on your reliability as a company or business. Businesses of all sizes need to be equipped with an effective inventory management system and inventory forecasting to find the right balance between out-of-stocks and overstocks. Part of good inventory management is knowing the market demand for a product and where to store goods until they are sold. To do this, you need to find a warehouse that suits your needs and is ideally located near your source of supply. Without a warehouse, some products will sit on store shelves for years, taking the place of newer products
Outsourcing your storage helps you:
● Speed up the shipping process: depending on the type of warehouse, your orders can be processed directly at the warehouse and delivered to your customers in any corner of the world.
● Protecting merchandise (warehousing protects your merchandise from loss or damage).
● Consolidate products more easily.
If, like many retailers, you have decided to import your goods from China, you may want to consider using Chinese warehouses, which are actually more cost effective. To find a warehouse, you should know that different warehouses offer different services and many do nothing more than store your goods. Your Chinese sourcing agent is usually the place where you can find warehousing, packaging and logistics services in one place. A sourcing agent can save you a lot of time that would otherwise be spent looking for a warehouse on your own.
