Over the years, businessmen engaged in factory trade have clearly observed changes in the order structure. In the past, when customers placed orders, they would typically order in bulk and ship in full containers. Once a shipment was dispatched, they would wait for the next order.
Nowadays, things are different. Many overseas customers engage in e-commerce or operate independent websites, and their orders are broken down into very small batches. A single cooperation may involve dozens or even hundreds of shipments.
For factory owners, production is not a challenge; rather, the real headache lies in shipping. Dealing with scattered orders daily, if handled entirely in-house, not only consumes a significant amount of manpower but is also prone to errors. Over time, this can disrupt the normal production rhythm.
1:The factory issues orders on its own, resulting in significant cost and effort consumption
In reality, many factories do not have a dedicated cross-border shipping team. When orders increase, they need to temporarily arrange personnel for picking, packing, labeling, and then contacting logistics. Requirements vary from country to country, and if one is not careful, the wrong channel may be used for shipping.
More realistically, the profit margin of such individual orders is not high. If the cost in the shipping process is out of control, it is easy to end up making no money despite a lot of effort.
2:Handing over the shipping to a cross-border cloud warehouse is more like outsourcing a department
In the eyes of factory owners, the role of cross-border cloud warehouses is more akin to outsourcing the shipping department. Once products are produced, they are directly and uniformly sent to the cloud warehouse, where the inventory counting, shelving, and stock management are handled.
Whether it's an order from an overseas customer or a shipment from an e-commerce platform, it can be shipped one by one as required, eliminating the need for the factory to frequently unpack and perform repetitive operations.
3:Picking up items at the door and having the factory ship them is more convenient
For factories, the location of the goods, whether they are produced in the same region as the warehouse or not, is also a key consideration. Nowadays, many cloud warehouses support nationwide door-to-door pickup services, so factories only need to prepare the goods, and the subsequent transportation and warehousing will be handled by someone else.
Service models like Taijia Cloud Warehouse are more convenient for factories, as they no longer have to separately arrange vehicles and logistics for each batch of goods, and the cost of intermediate communication is also reduced.
4:Factories are more focused on production, leading to a more stable customer experience
Once the shipping process stabilizes, it becomes easier for the factory to handle sporadic orders. If customers need to ship in batches, we can ship according to their schedule. If customers need to add orders on the fly, we can respond quickly.
For factory owners, cross-border cloud warehouses are not about spending more money, but rather about focusing their limited energy on production and the products themselves, while entrusting the complex task of shipping to more suitable parties.
The business is becoming more and more specialized, and only when the delivery capability keeps up can the orders go further.
