Enterprise Times: What this means for businesses
Shipping is often described as the last leg of the eCommerce journey. For many organisations, shipping is simply the option of identifying and selecting an appropriate partner with various carrier options. However, shipping is a far more complex issue which requires ensuring carrier options offer customers a wide range of omnichannel options. Furthermore, it can be integrated into the customer’s eCommerce platform to provide a positive experience across all the channels.
The partnership makes APC’s services immediately available to Shipium customers. As a result, brands and retailers using APC’s services should be confident that their shipping needs are met and logistical headaches reduced. The partnership is expected to provide customers the opportunity to extend their international shipping reach. Any delivery service provided needs to be seamless, scalable and provide an effective end-to-end global shipping experience.
eCommerce is expected to continue to grow rapidly during the next few years. As a result, retailers must get the online delivery experience right to ensure customers return to their digital checkouts. This will be particularly the case with international shipping, where the opportunities to find appropriate partners will be limited, when compared to domestic shipping.
