Automate Logistics for your Shopify Store

Regardless if you're drop shipping, have your own warehouse, or using a third-party logistics provider (3PL), you should be spending literally zero time on day-to-day order fulfillment for your Shopify store. This means you can 100% automate the order fulfillment process. While inventory management or sourcing, such as buying in bulk from a Chinese supplier, might take a bit of time, your daily order fulfillment should take no time at all.

By automating this process, you can free up time to focus on growing your business instead of dealing with order hassles. For instance, many 3PLs have a daily cutoff time, often around 1 or 2 PM. Orders made on your store before this cutoff time are automatically fulfilled and shipped the same day. Orders made after the cutoff time will be fulfilled the next morning. In both cases, the process is completely automated. Even refunds can be fully automated.

These processes can be applied to any fulfillment model that a Shopify store might use. The benefits include offering faster shipping times to your customers and charging for premium shipping services, thereby increasing your average order value and profitability. Shipping revenue can also significantly boost your margins.

More importantly, you will make your customers happier by providing a better shipping experience, which can drive retention and encourage repeat purchases. In essence, better logistics lead to classic business benefits.
