A multinational fast-fashion retailer is providing a new hosted logistics option to merchants on its third-party U.S. marketplace.
The largest portion of fast-fashion spending in the United States (about 40%) goes to Shein, an online value-priced fashion and lifestyle retailer with its headquarters in Singapore but its roots in China, reported CSA.
Shein is working with Flexport, a hosted logistics provider that oversees end-to-end workflows such as freight, distribution, e-commerce fulfillment, and direct-to-consumer fulfillment, as its preferred logistics provider for the Shein Marketplace U.S. third-party sales platform. This is part of an ongoing effort to more efficiently manage its rapidly expanding U.S. operation.
With this new collaboration, Shein and Flexport hope to assist merchants in "scaling their business faster and unlocking reliable, nationwide U.S. fulfillment," according to a LinkedIn post. The two businesses are emphasizing the following particular services and advantages:
Inventory synchronization between the Shein and Flexport systems that is seamless for more precise stock levels and efficient operations.
For simpler fulfillment, Shein orders in Flexport instantly start the shipping and logistical operations.
Automation of once manual processes like administration and data input, freeing up more time for activities connected to sales.
Integrating all aspects of the supply chain, from sales to inventory control./BGNES
