What Is Dropshipping? A Staple of eCommerce:

Dropshipping is a way for retailers to fulfill orders without having to hold their own inventory. When a retailer sells a product, they have it shipped to the customer directly from a third-party supplier. Traditionally, the retailer’s branding appears on the packing slip and packaging, so the end customer may never even realize the product isn’t coming directly from the retailer.

At a 10,000-foot view, dropshipping lets your organization expand assortment, embrace supply chain resiliency, and maximize your eCommerce program without increasing the overall cost of carrying new products. Due to rising customer expectations and the need for convenience, dropshipping has become an increasingly popular solution with numerous benefits for retailers and brands.

The Basics of Dropshipping:
Like every solution, dropshipping has key benefits and challenges that make utilizing the solution unique to each individual operator. For retailers like Walgreens, dropshipping is a way to sell more products—or SKUs—without having to keep those products in their distribution centers.

However, your dropshipping program will be challenged by three key factors: supplier inventory, digitally native brands, and your technology partner. Navigating these drawbacks, and perfecting dropshipping’s benefits, will be the difference between having an excellent technology partner like Logicbroker and a legacy provider that is intent on keeping your organization with them for years simply to onboard new suppliers.
