Amazon Shipping insights & news
Is shipping slowing down your warehouse?
Here are 3 tips to work leaner and faster
As an online retailer, your warehouse is the heart of your business. But if your warehouse has orders piling up faster than you can say “ship it,” you're not alone. E-commerce is booming, and the future looks bright. According to research firm eMarketer, ecommerce sales were expected to grow 8.8% in 2024, reaching over $6.3 trillion globally. By 2027, that market is projected to surpass $7.9 trillion.
Great news for your business, right? But it can also mean shipping challenges if you're struggling to keep up. The key here is to work smarter, not harder.
So, how do you turn your shipping from a bottleneck into a super power that delights your customers? Here are three key questions that could revolutionize your approach.

So, how do you turn your shipping from a bottleneck into a super power that delights your customers? Here are three key questions that could revolutionize your approach.
Can ‘going mobile’ boost efficiency?
Imagine managing your entire warehouse from your phone. Mobile capabilities can significantly enhance the efficiency of your business. The Amazon Shipping app, available on Apple Store or Google Play, allows you to manage pickups and deliveries across multiple warehouse locations from a centralized dashboard. It provides real-time tracking of driver locations and delivery statuses, and enables warehouse managers to provide and verify detailed pickup instructions. Consider how such mobile tools might enhance your warehouse operations and team efficiency.
Are you making the most of your relationship with your shipping provider?
You may think shipping providers are just for deliveries, but a strategic relationship with your shipping provider can help navigate the complexities of e-commerce logistics. For shippers with higher volumes, Amazon Shipping offers customized operational analysis and incorporates shipper feedback for continuous improvement. Amazon Shipping also offers expert guidance on optimizing pickup frequencies and leveraging special programs.
Is your tech stack automating shipping operations?
As orders pile up, your tech needs to keep pace. Amazon Shipping provides integrations with major e-commerce platforms and order management systems like Veeqo and ShipStation. We also work with PluginHive to automate label printing from storefronts like Shopify. These allow for bulk label printing across multiple sales channels and include support for optimizing integrations. For businesses with proprietary warehouse management systems, we offer an API capable of custom integrations that streamline your operations and free up resource for growth-focused activities. Evaluate how such automations could streamline your operations and free up resources for growth-focused activities.
