Savings potential through bundled purchasing

 

So let's take a closer look at the potential savings: An effective strategy for reducing your material costs in e-commerce is bundled purchasing through external logistics providers.

External logistics providers often have many years of experience and an extensive network of suppliers, which enables them to scale your business as required and find specialists for your products.
