When a company decides to take the leap into the international market and expand the volume and scope of its business, it is inevitably faced with a question: to manage its own warehouse internally or to hire the services of a third party to outsource logistics.
It is not an easy decision to make but there are some important considerations to take into account before embarking on one path or the other.
More and more companies, seeking greater profitability for their business and availability for their core business, are deciding to outsource their logistics department.
With the expansion of international trade at the end of the last century and particularly in recent years with the whirlwind caused by the boom in e-commerce, logistics has become a strategic factor in any company. As companies grow and increase their business volume, logistics and distribution processes start to become more complex and entail higher economic costs.
At this point, and especially in companies that sell their products on the international market, managers consider the outsourcing of logistics services as the best alternative to increase the profitability of their company and to relieve themselves of a certain amount of work.
Main Advantages of Outsourcing the Logistics of an International Company
- Cost savings: Supporting your own logistics department is a very high cost for your company, so one of the main advantages of outsourcing logistics is to reduce the fixed costs associated with that department and avoid heavy investments in capital.
- Reduces the workload and allows a greater focus on core business: By outsourcing logistics and distribution we reduce the time and resources we invest in these tasks, lightening the structure of the company and allocating these resources to developing the business.
- Wide range of services and innovation: Entrusting your company’s logistics to a specialist will allow you to choose from a wider and more innovative range of services without having to invest your own resources in R&D&I.
- Greater quality and satisfaction: Outsourcing logistics means offering your clients a higher quality service, thus improving their level of satisfaction and experience with your company.
- Support and experience in the international marketing of products: When you hire a logistics partner specialised in the management of international merchandise, you will have their experience and support at your company’s disposal to access new markets and implement your business in other countries.
