Logistics is a fundamental factor for the proper functioning of an e-commerce. After all, it is responsible for ensuring that products are delivered efficiently, without delays and at lower costs. Inventory control, shipping calculations and even product packaging contribute to offering a good shopping experience to the customer and preventing cart abandonment at the time of purchase. Therefore, we prepared this article with 5 key points for you to improve the logistics of your e-commerce. Check it out:<\/p>\n

1. Choose a good logistics carrier for e-commerce<\/h2>\n

In order to avoid errors and guarantee delivery times, many stores prefer to hand over transportation to companies that carry out the entire service from end to end. You should research the most economical delivery option based on the size, weight and value of your products. It is worth comparing the tables of the different carrier options and the various methods and prices they offer.<\/p>\n

The cost of delivery is a very important factor in the purchasing decision. Proof of this is that almost 64.2% of consumers considered free shipping to be the main disadvantage of an online purchase, according to research carried out by the Credit Protection Service<\/a> (SPC Brasil) and the National Confederation of Store Managers (CNDL).<\/p>\n

But also pay close attention to delivery times. If it’s not fast, you could lose customers because of it.<\/p>\n

2. Negotiate a discount with carriers<\/h2>\n

Many carriers provide discounts for customers with a large number of shipments. The more products you ship, the less you need to pay. Some carriers require companies to have a minimum volume of deliveries per month.<\/p>\n

If you still do not ship a sufficient quantity of products to be able to negotiate a competitive price, the best option is to forecast the volume of deliveries based on your sales projection. This way, you will have a good argument to negotiate a discount with the carrier and reduce the costs of your e-commerce logistics.<\/p>\n

3. Calculate the cubed weight in e-commerce logistics<\/h2>\n

Transport vehicles have a maximum physical capacity, limited depending on weight and space. After all, some products are bulkier than heavy. Therefore, knowing the unit of weight and volume to be transported is essential for accurate freight calculation.<\/p>\n

A good practice is to use cubed weight to measure load density and calculate delivery prices. The cubed weight compares the size of the product to the actual weight of the package. This calculation boils down to multiplying the package dimensions and a density factor. In road transport, a cubage factor of 300 kg\/m\u00b3 is common, while in air transport 600 kg\/m\u00b3 is more commonly used.<\/p>\n

The formula used is: (Height x Width x Depth) x Density factor.<\/p>\n

For example, considering a load weighing 2.5 kg, 1.25 m high, 0.55 m wide and 0.38 m deep, the cubed weight would be calculated as follows in road transport: (1.25 x 0.55 x 0.38) x 300 = 78.37 kg\/m\u00b3. The result would be the weight to be considered in the shipping cost.<\/p>\n

4. Offer a competitive shipping price<\/h2>\n

Many customers abandon their cart because they think the shipping cost is high. To avoid this, try to include the shipping cost before the customer completes the purchase. This measure helps prevent customers from giving up on purchasing the product at the final stage of the purchasing journey.<\/p>\n

The ideal would be to be able to offer free shipping. The shipping cost, therefore, needs to be passed on to the price of the product. Although you may have to absorb part of the delivery cost, the average ticket for your orders will increase and compensate for the difference in shipping. One option is to set a minimum purchase value for the customer to have free shipping.<\/p>\n

Additionally, you should be able to provide delivery time information to customers and provide a link to track orders. This information inspires credibility and trust in customers.

5. Use suitable pallets<\/h2>\n

Currently, pallets are at the center of the supply chain, allowing the transport of goods from the beginning of production until the products are received by the end customer.<\/p>\n

When choosing the pallets used in your logistics operations, you must pay attention to the characteristics of the material used, in order to ensure hygiene and cleanliness throughout the process.<\/p>\n

An advantage of the plastic pallet is its load capacity, as it is capable of supporting large weights. Extremely robust, this product allows boxes to be stacked, thus helping to optimize the use of physical space.<\/p>\n
