It helps eCommerce businesses determine whether or not a company\u2019s efforts are paying off dividends. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there are over five million transportation and warehousing employees in the US alone. By 2023, the logistics is forecast to be a $15.5 trillion industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most enterprises operate with the aim of bringing down cost, speeding up the production cycles, and producing high-quality products that result in greater customer satisfaction. A balance between supply and demand can be achieved when you partner with the right manufacturers and distributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How supply chain management helps an eCommerce business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An eCommerce business demands direct dealing with customers for product delivery. During a purchase, a customer expects an eCommerce website to ensure fast order delivery. Failing that, a company risks losing customers to its competitors. Therefore, supply chain management integration can add great value to any business that relies on the smooth outlining and execution of parallel processes to achieve long-term profitability.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Internet Retailer\u2019s 2019 report, eCommerce represented a higher share of total retail sales of 14.3% in 2018 over 12.9% in 2017 and 11.6% in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The industry growth seen in recent years is an outcome of optimized supply chain management (SCM) that helps eCommerce companies manufacture and deliver cost-effective products on time. All in all, supply chain management is a competitive advantage that drives business growth by:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimizing inventory levels<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimizing logistics &amp; distribution<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Streamlining order fulfillment<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combined reduction of cost associated with these activities.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do you need to optimize your supply chain?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to globalization, the businesses have to connect with customers and suppliers through an optimized supply chain. This will elaborate global sales system and logistics base which encourage efficient online order achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 60% of US consumers expect quick delivery with no shipping charges. Most of the e-retailers find it challenging to meet this expectation. This is why it is essential to reconsider inventory placement to beat competition.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a rapidly-evolving market, it is not viable to get stuck due to inefficient network management. To keep up, an eCommerce business needs to have an optimized supply chain in place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimization of locations and fulfillment of products allow omnichannel logistics to ensure diminished costs, speedy delivery, and improved customer experience. However, eCommerce retailers encounter various challenges while optimizing their supply chain, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Personalized customer experience<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this customer-driven business landscape, an entrepreneur must know&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/offer-best-shopping-experience\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=internallink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to offer the best shopping experience to your customers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is because each customer\u2019s demands and expectations are different. But how? Every stage of the supply chain gathers different data related to the customer, such as buying patterns, preferences, and interests. Analyzing this data, you can provide a personalized experience to each customer through the supply chain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OPTIMIZE-SUPPLY-CHAIN-ZARA.png\" alt=\"OPTIMIZE-SUPPLY-CHAIN-ZARA\" class=\"wp-image-3137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OPTIMIZE-SUPPLY-CHAIN-ZARA.png 560w, https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/OPTIMIZE-SUPPLY-CHAIN-ZARA-300x116.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Case Study<\/b> &#8211; While other fashion retailers were taking around a year\u2019s time to forecast and produce products that were in style, Zara gained an edge with its vertically integrated supply chain process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The system helped the garments retailer bring the trending designs to any store at any location within a span of 2-3 weeks.
