With e-commerce, businesses attract shoppers from all over the country and sometimes even across the globe. While that may be a good thing to keep orders pouring in, not being able to extend the same services to customers from Victory, like those from New South Wales, could cost your business. That is why it is important for online e-commerce store sellers to consider fulfillment service coverage in Melbourne.
Offering advanced digital connectivity, outstanding rail and road infrastructure, and accessibility to prominent ports, Melbourne based fulfillment is a coveted base to store your inventory. By positioning inventory in a primary economic hub, sellers can speed up order fulfillment times at affordable costs, delighting customers and fostering loyalty. A fulfillment company like Locad, with its fulfillment center in Melbourne, offers sellers localized fulfillment in the region without heavy capital investment for fixed storage infrastructure.
The success of your Australian e-commerce business largely depends on how sellers can cater to customer demand, offer exceptional sales experience, and fulfill orders faster. One such advantage of Australian sellers is to have a strategic fulfillment center in Melbourne, a busy e-commerce hub in the country. Melbourne is the hub of nearly 61% of Australia’s economic activity and houses 66% of the country’s population. Right in the middle of Australia’s southeast triangle, with an economic output of A$ 1.4 trillion, businesses stand to benefit by opting for a fulfillment center in Melbourne.
By choosing a fulfillment provider like Locad, which has established operations in Melbourne, e-commerce sellers set themselves up for business success by serving a major share of the e-commerce activity quickly.
Enable your e-commerce brand to cater to regional, national, and international shoppers
A good e-commerce logistics and fulfillment company must have a strong foothold in Melbourne, reducing the time it takes to ship orders to the majority of its customers within the country. Combine that with fulfillment centers spread across other key regions in Australia, and e-commerce sellers can leverage a decentralized inventory storage method to reduce their carbon footprint and deliver orders faster.
With Locad’s Fulfillment center in Melbourne and powerful tech-driven feature, your e-commerce business gains:
E-commerce sellers in Australia may incur high overhead costs like renting out complete warehousing units, labor and security costs, supply chain and delivery costs surging due to single carrier dependencies when opting for fixed logistics and storage infrastructure. These overhead costs eat into your profit margins, leaving you with no choice but to sell products at a higher market value. When price and shipping are two of the most important purchase signals, businesses cannot afford to lose customers to competition.
With Locad, you not only choose to reduce your overhead costs, but transform your e-commerce selling experience. Here’s how:
Analyze local and region-wise sale volume to distribute your inventory across Locad’s fulfillment centers in Australia.
Specify packaging and assembly instructions to ensure your orders are packed in custom branding packaging.
Get full visibility into inventory levels across all fulfillment centers to time inventory replenishment and avoid out-of-stock issues.
Retrieve orders from inventory based on sellable threshold for better expiry management and improved shelf-life after order delivery.
Track orders from the fulfillment centers all the way to your customer’s door steps with shareable live tracking links.
Investing in fixed infrastructure like an entire warehouse spacing in one region may prevent your business from realizing its success in Australia. Building a team to manage warehouse operations, utility and transporting inventory may add to business expenses. To accommodate all these expenses, you must increase the markup of the products you sell to make a healthy profit margin.
To a growing demographic of value-seeking shoppers, this would be a good reason to consider competitors who offer what you’re selling at lower costs.
Locad’s rich network of Australian fulfillment centers reduces costly overhead and speeds up fulfillment, translating into a delightful customer experience. Here’s how
Store inventory across multiple warehouses located near major ports, airports, and e-commerce hubs. This helps you ship orders to Australian shoppers nationwide with faster shipping.
Locad’s network of warehouses outside Australia opens up the room for business expansion without hurting your budget. Sell in regions like the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, and the Middle East by capitalizing on Locad’s presence in these regions.
With Locad, rewire the way you sell through proactive measures. With distributed inventory, ensure you can continue serving shoppers even if the inventory runs out in one of Locad’s fulfillment centers. Prevent surge pricing and service disruptions from affecting your shipping costs by alternating between our existing line-up last-mile carrier partners.
Harsh, Marketing Associate at The Ayurveda Experience, a beauty and skincare brand in Australia, says: “Looking at the industry, we are seeing Same Day Delivery, Next Day Delivery to reduce the wait time [for customers] and that is why Locad came into the picture.”
