E-commerce has reached its pinnacle with the help of better access to the internet and technology. With this, the number of companies establishing online has seen a boost. But, the fact that running an e-commerce business needs proper strategies and planning – should not be ignored. Various aspects are to be kept in mind for an e-business to reach its success. One of the main aspects is order fulfilment that directly impacts customer approval. Significant attention is needed to achieve it.
Fluctuation in the demand and supply has led to a crisis in the logistic end. On season demand for heavy discount days like Big Billion/ New Year/ Independence Day done by Flipkart, Amazon, Paytm, SnapDeal, etc. or for festivities like Navratri/ Durga Puja/ Diwali makes the traditional supply chain model disrupt, and one can no longer wholly rely on traditional warehousing methods (in-build, renting for long-term). The industry has found a way to do efficient business, it is known as flexible or on-demand warehousing. It is also called plug-&-play model.
On-demand warehousing is simply what its name suggests. It is a business model where warehouse owners lease out warehouses as per the need of the client, and not what they readily have. Based on the size, and duration, these owners provide warehouses on rent. It is on a contractual basis.
It allows the client to have logistics space on a needed basis following a pay per use system. It has given regulars a way to not worry about investing their money in building or renting out a warehouse on a long-term basis. This approach has made warehousing leasing flexible. It offers a dynamic and scalable solution that is centred on transactional pricing which allows a firm to grow and contract its networks as demanded.
To the customer it a mercy as he does not have to commit for long and make the business un-viable. To the investor, it makes no harm, as it can lease out the space throughout the year. In a nutshell, it is understood that it gives quick access to storage space without the heed of costly setups.
