This video explores the often-overlooked world of logistics warehousing within an "ecommerce business", showing how many brand owners start with home-based inventory before scaling to a "fulfillment warehouse". We discuss the benefits of engaging a "3pl provider" and how a "logistics company" can streamline your operations. Understanding "warehousing services" is crucial for growth.

Fulfillment strategy affects costs, delivery speed, inventory flow, and customer trust for growing ecommerce brands. This conversation with  @thenewwarehouse breaks down 3PL services, in-house warehousing, order volume signals, and seasonality risks. Learn how logistics decisions impact profit margins, scalability, labor planning, and long-term operational stability.
