Ultimate Flexibility to Keep Your Shelves Stocked

 

 

Demand for improved supply chain efficiency is on the rise, and with it the need for 3PLs to better anticipate their partners’ top priorities. First Call’s experience with retail shippers of all sizes gives us an edge when it comes to facilitating resilient transportation strategies and catering to the things customers care about most:
  • Convenience. Demand for fast shipping isn’t going anywhere; in 2020 alone, e-commerce sales increased by $244.2 billion, a 43% rise in a single year.
  • Economy. Consumers have grown to expect fast shipping — in fact, nearly 90% of U.S. online shoppers expect free two- to three-day shipping but changing consumer values are also driving significant sustainability efforts across most industries. 
  • Sustainability. More shoppers are showing a preference for sustainable products, packing options and shipping practices.
