Outsourcing

The Benefits of Outsourcing Your E-Fulfillment Services

Choosing the right time to outsource your e-fulfillment is never easy. Perhaps your company has outgrown its current warehouse space, or your delivery services are unable to cope with your demand?

Whatever the reason, it has become clearer to you that the hours spent managing fulfillment leaves you without enough time to invest in marketing and selling your services.

In any ecommerce sector your product quality together with the overall service you provide is key to your reputation and winning more sales. Poor delivery means poor reputation; no matter how loyal customers are to your brand, one bad experience or poor reviews can ruin it all.

So, if you find that your business has grown and you’re still doing the everyday jobs, now is probably the right time to consider outsourcing.

Outsourcing to a specialist e-fulfillment company like F4E can take a huge weight of your shoulders, open up new markets and help you to do what you’re good at, running your business.

The Benefits

The Gift of Time

Letting go of certain tasks is important. It frees up your valuable time and allows you to focus on building your ecommerce business.
F4E have dedicated account managers that take the stress out of the transition and will develop the trust you need to work on your "baby" with the same passion as you.
With a single point of contact you, with your F4E account manager, can easily manage your sales throughout Europe without the huge impact on your resources and budget this level of growth would otherwise take.

Lower your Shipping Costs

F4E have facilities throughout Europe. This creates a solid foundation to offer lower shipping rates — resulting in bulk delivery discounts that you can take advantage of.
We have established relationships with carriers & packaging suppliers in every major European state meaning we enjoy discounts that would not be available to smaller businesses.

Control Capital Expenditure

The cost element of outsourcing your e-fulfillment is probably the most obvious benefit.
Across Europe F4E has:

  • 2,000 EMPLOYEES
  • 20,000,000 SHIPMENTS
  • 200,000 SQM SPACE

It doesn’t take a lot of calculations to see that every one of F4E’s fulfillment houses already have the warehousing, IT systems and processes in place, so there is less of an investment for you.
