Let’s Take Your Small Business to the Next Level
The 5 benefits we offer small and medium-sized businesses:
- We help you expand and scale
- We increase your margins
- We help you focus on growth
- We help you capitalise from our economies of scale
- We remove the risk associated with expansion
1. Helping You Expand and Scale
We offer a complete fulfilment service for small businesses. ECS Fulfilment will:
- Take delivery, or arrange collection, of your inventory
- Place and securely store your inventory in our warehouse
- Integrate with your store / sales channels – we deal with this for you
- As we receive your customer orders, we pick, pack and ship your products
- Handle any product returns for you
Essentially, we are storing and managing your inventory and fulfilling your orders – it’s the warehousing side of your business all taken care of for you, while keeping you firmly in the loop where necessary!
2. Increase Your Margins
When you are an SME, you don’t have the economies of scale larger businesses do. This is why 3PL makes so much sense for SMEs. We can deepen your margins. Once you consider the true costs involved, it is almost always the case that a good 3PL provider can do it cheaper.
This is because:
- You’ll benefit from our economies of scale and bulk courier discounts
- Highly efficient ISO 9001 certified processes
- Benefit from our vast experience in solving any logistical problem
- We have invested in the latest warehouse technologies, giving great efficiencies
Outsourcing your order fulfilment to ECS means you can benefit from all of the above and deepen your margins.
3. We Help You Focus on Growth
We’re sure you didn’t get into business because you wanted to spend half of your day picking and packing your customer orders, but that’s what many small business owners end up doing. It may not be where your talents lie!
We, however, did get into business to pick and pack, and we’ve made it our mission to do this very well. It’s what we do, and we can do it for you! It’s our passion, and it IS where our talents lie. When we do this for you, we will free up your time to focus on what you are great at!
Would it be nice to:
- Have more time to focus on marketing?
- Have more time to focus on product development?
- Have more time to focus on your key business relationships?
- Get a few of those evening and weekend hours back?
4. Capitalise on our Economies of Scale
Outsourcing fulfilment logistics isn’t just about handing off boxes—it’s about unlocking strategic growth. By partnering with a third-party logistics provider, businesses gain access to expansive infrastructure, advanced technology, and bulk shipping networks that would be costly to build alone.
Instead of managing multiple warehouses, hiring staff, and negotiating carrier rates independently, you tap into a system already optimized for volume. That means lower per-unit costs, faster delivery times, and the flexibility to scale up or down without the overhead.
5. Remove the Risk
Growing any small business involves risk. Taking the step to invest in new warehousing premises or hiring extra staff to pick and pack is a significant risk. With ECS Fulfilment, you don’t need to take on that risk because we have already made all the necessary investments.
We have:
- Eight warehouse facilities strategically placed around the UK
- One warehouse facility in France
- Ready-equipped with various racking, shelving, and binned storage options
- Industry-leading software that integrates with almost anything via API
- Experienced and long-serving staff
- Established shipping and logistics networks
- Robust ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified processes
- loyal customer base with excellent customer retention
With all this in place, we can lessen the financial risks associated with expanding your small business.
