INTRODUCTION
  • Drop shipping is a common retail fulfilment
    method where the manufacturer or distributor
    directly ship products to customers when an order
    is placed via an ecommerce website. In this case,
    retailers dont stock products or handle
    logistics.
  • It can be beneficial to e-commerce retailers
    because it eliminates both investments and risks
    in inventory. On the other side, it also causes
    extra complexity in terms of delivery speed and
    coordination among the three-partiesretailers,
    customers and manufactures. In this post, we
    included some basic elements of drop shipping for
    you to consider.

Why drop shipping
  • Drop shipping reduces risks that online
    retailers, especially the new ones normally face.
    Less upfront investment requires less capital
    needed. Because retailers dont need to stock
    products, they dont have to pay for warehouse
    and related operation costs. In this way, online
    retailers can respond even faster to the
    ever-changing consumer needs. Its easier to
    offer a wider product selections without paying
    for inventory changes.

The disadvantages of drop shipping
  • The challenges are usually paired with the
    convenience. Firstly, products are shipped from
    the third party, e-commerce businesses often have
    very limited control of the stock level of a
    certain product, delivery timeframes and shipment
    tracking.
  • This happens in online marketing, especially when
    retailers deal with multiple manufactures who
    dont have real-time inventory management system.

How to take advantage of drop shipping?
  • To overcome the down side of the complexities
    mentioned above, e-commerce businesses should
    embrace technologies in place.
  • A must-have is an API that facilitates real-time
    data transmission in a transparent manner between
    e-commerce retailers and manufactures.

6
Conclusion
  • As e-commerce continuously grows and the need to
    reduce supply chain complexity increases, drop
    shipping will be seen as a way to speed the
    delivery process and cut out middlemen cost. With
    the right technology systems, such APIs that
    allows immediate data transmission and real-time
    updates, drop shipping will be a winning method
    for e-commerce businesses and distributors/
    manufacturers.
