You
started your company by packing and shipping orders from your
basement or garage, but now sales volume is beginning to get
overwhelming. How is the best way to increase your capacity? Should
you lease a commercial warehouse and open up your own fulfillment
center, or should you consider outsourcing?
The
number-one reason to outsource fulfillment is to allow you to focus
more on what you do best, so that you can grow your business faster.
The
decision to outsource is the same as when you want to hire the best
manager. You need to find the best person to perform the job at the
right price. You want someone who can follow direction, but can also
be self-starting, and can find new ways to lower costs and be more
efficient.
