Logistics e-commerce definition : e-commerce logistics, or e-logistics, represents the logistics of internet sales. This activity involves setting up specific processes to respond to a particular flow management.
This logistics is accompanied by e-commerce transport, which requires a different organization of a retail transport.
WHAT ARE THE BUSINESSES OF LOGISTICS E-COMMERCE ?
The e-commerce logistics takes over the different jobs of the supply chain, but there are specific professions as well on the side of the brand as the textile logistics provider :
- Order picker
- Transport Service
- Delivery
- In-store seller for the click-and-collect
- SAV
THE ISSUES AND CONSTRAINTS OF LOGISTICS E-COMMERCE
Just like logistics and transport in general, the e-commerce supply chain must be mastered and optimized from start to finish. Often, going through an outsourcing can be an effective solution. Some points must still be taken into account in order to be as effective as possible.
- The price, on one side for the brand but also for the consumer. The e-merchant wishes to offer its customers a fair delivery price, but that does not cost too much. Consumers are looking for a great rate. The price of delivery is a constraint and sometimes it is too high, it can lead to abandonment of basket. It is therefore necessary to be able to offer several offers with prices adapted to the needs.
- The speed of preparation, shipping and delivery of the order must be as fast as possible. The consumer is impatient and wants to receive his order right away. He is even ready to pay for his more expensive delivery in order to benefit from a fast delivery in D + 1 or D + 2, even express. Here again, it is important to offer various offers corresponding to the various needs.
- The management of the returns precisely, corresponds to a specific flow and must be perfectly controlled by the logistics provider. This activity has gained considerable weight in recent years and has forced brands to optimize this flow. Beyond a complex process that must be mastered in its entirety, e-merchants are looking for a low-cost solution for their business. This concept of cost also plays another role, since the consumer wants to return his articles for free which implies an effort on the part of the brands.
- The environmental approach has become important in the minds of consumers. It is no longer a question of going through a brand that will send products in packaging that is too big, with all sorts of settings and not adapted to possible returns. We must therefore rethink the entire offer in this sense: transport, packaging and returns.
