Why Outsourcing To A 3PL Should Be Your Brand's Top New Year's Resolution

Make the New Year's resolution to upgrade your eCommerce capabilities!


Outsourcing your brand’s order fulfillment, kitting, and inventory management to a third-party logistics partner is a significant decision. Your 3PL will ultimately be an extension of your brand with their performance directly impacting your customers' buying experience.


Surveys have shown that less than 20% of consumers are likely to be repeat customers if they have a negative order fulfillment experience, while nearly three quarters of consumers expect to receive their product within two days.


But what if your brand also needs to fulfill bulk orders for retailers, distributors, or holds marquis sales events, such as DRTV airings, Prime Day, holiday, or promotional sales? Will your D2C orders take priority over your other sales channels? Do you risk out-of-stock retailers that would otherwise market your products to even more customers?


Your brand needs a solution that allows you to capture sales across all channels. To do this, you need a partner that is not only aligned with your goals but can execute them flawlessly. Here are just a few ways Abacus Logistics helps brands deliver a world class experience for customers across all sales channels:


Flexible & Scalable:

The Abacus team are masters of executing unpredictable order and kitting volumes. We navigate peak and off-peak seasonality with expert-level precision, routinely crushing 10x volume spikes.


When you partner with Abacus, you can say “yes” with confidence to all your sales channels. Our teams are built to support simultaneous fulfillment of orders across all sales channels, and they're also cross-trained to support unanticipated volume spikes that drive higher volumes than forecasted.


Experienced & Capable:

Most brands are experts in bringing great products to market, but they often lack the focus and expertise necessary to support the back-end logistics of order fulfillment. Partnering with Abacus allows you to focus on your core operations: creating and marketing your products and supporting your customers. Having fulfilled millions of orders and produced millions of kits, the Abacus team are order fulfillment experts. We've pulled off many big "wins" for our clients over the years and welcome your peak season and marquis event challenges!


Take advantage of our truly omnichannel order fulfillment services. Whether your orders support D2C, B2B, Retail EDI, DRTV, Drop Ship, or Club sales channels, Abacus is your partner in success.


Collaborative & Adaptive:

You'll quickly discover that our team prides itself on offering an unrivaled partnership designed with your success in mind. Our customer-first approach is in our DNA, and our services and resources are adapted to meet your needs as your brand grows.


Cost-Effective:

Operating your own warehouse results in high overhead costs that don't adjust downward during off-peak. The direct and indirect costs associated with leasing your own often make partnering with a 3PL more cost-effective.


When partnering with Abacus, you only pay for the space that you use, not the entire warehouse. You also enjoy the efficiencies that come from a team whose sole mission is to kit and fulfill orders quickly and accurately. Our continuous improvement approach drives out costs, and our centrally located facility in Missouri offers competitive labor costs, making Abacus the perfect partner for your brand.


If you're ready to make this the year you achieve order fulfillment excellence, contact the Abacus team at info@abacus3PL.com to determine how we can support your brand with this year's resolution!



Happy New Year from Abacus
