The 3 Fulfillment Mistakes Costing Small E-Commerce Brands Thousands
I've worked with dozens of small e-commerce brands on their logistics, and the same three mistakes keep showing up.
1. Shipping with one carrier
Most brands pick UPS or FedEx and never look back. The problem? No single carrier is cheapest for every package size and destination. Rate shopping across 3-4 carriers can cut shipping costs 15-30% overnight.
2. Not tracking cost-per-order holistically
You know your shipping label cost. But do you know your pick-and-pack labor cost per order? Your packaging material cost? Your return processing cost? Most brands are losing $2-5 per order on things they've never measured.
3. Reactive inventory management
If you're reordering when you run out, you're already losing sales. A simple reorder point formula (daily sales rate × lead time + safety stock) eliminates 90% of stockouts.
These aren't complex problems — they just need the right systems. That's exactly what we built LogiSolve for.
