The defining battle of digital commerce for 2018 is logistics. ShipHero is a inventory, shipping and returns solution that uses iPads and barcode scanners in the warehouse. And ShipHero allows you to easily and quickly connect 3PLs that are running the same ShipHero software that you are. Amazon can thrive in a world of free 2 day delivery, because they have warehouses everywhere which allows them to provide 2 day delivery but only incur the expense of ground shipping. Virtually no one else can afford that distribution network, forcing either slower delivery or margin loss, so Amazon wins. After Product and People, Logistics is your largest cost. With ShipHero you can use your own warehouse(s) running on ShipHero in combination with outsourced warehouses in the regions you don't have your own warehouse all working together, all seamlessly and all in real-time at a reasonable cost by leveraging ShipHero. That’s how you compete with Amazon on delivery, without spending billions.
