Automation of order fulfillment using API from Dropex

The rapid development of the e-commerce market around the world has led to the automation of many fulfillment processes.

Therefore, the automation of various business tasks is gradually becoming a daily necessity in modern e-commerce.

Importance of outsourcing automated order fulfillment for PrestaShop

To summarize, we understand that outsourcing and automation of order fulfillment is very important for modern e-commerce. This will allow you not to be scattered over different warehouses and business processes, but to devote time to equally important tasks. So, the pros of delegation and automation in Dropex are as follows.

Saving time and resources

In the reports of entrepreneurs who have been cooperating with Dropex for several years, one can see that the services of the order fulfillment center are much cheaper than independent logistics. This is not surprising, because you do not need to rent a warehouse, hire staff, pay unprofitable courier rates and much more. Freed up from routine tasks, entrepreneurs try to devote themselves to thinking through new advertising strategies and marketing. And this gives its results - expansion of the product range, improvement of the product quality, increase in sales and, accordingly, business.

Minimizing errors

Work in the warehouse is entrusted only to the employees who have previously successfully completed an internship. An understanding of responsibilities, combined with a clear action plan, helps to minimize errors in orders at times. But if here it is not possible to get rid of oversights completely due to the human factor, then with automation everything is much more reliable.

Increasing customer loyalty

Customer loyalty depends on many factors: product quality, service level, delivery speed, seller's willingness to make concessions and much more. When worries about warehouse processes and ensuring fast delivery are transferred to the operator, the entrepreneur has a lot of time to revise and improve the rest of the service. For example, setting up high-quality work of managers with customers (polite communication, drawing up a selling script, controlling the speed of responses, etc.) or improving the product (selecting the best materials, expanding the range, etc).

Full control

Delegation of logistics implies the transfer of many processes to the provider. This means that the warehousing of products, their processing, shipping and inventory are transferred under the full control of the order fulfillment center. You do not have to participate in this personally, but only view and analyze the reports.

Therefore, if you are looking for a reliable fulfillment center, Dropex is always ready to advise and start cooperation. This is a company that has been operating in the European market for several years and has established itself as one of the best partners. You can contact Dropex managers by phone or email indicated on the official website of the company.
