How Small Businesses Can Use Logistics to Scale Globally

Global expansion is not only for huge companies anymore. With the correct logistics strategy, small businesses can reach international customers quickly and inexpensively. Here's how it works:

1. Choose the Right Shipping Strategy

Direct Shipping – Ship to customers directly; ideal for low-scale selling

Third-Party Logistics (3PL) – Use fulfillment centers like Amazon FBA to hold and ship goods faster

Dropshipping – Sell to the world without holding inventory.

2. Optimize Warehousing & Inventory

Stock at local warehouses for quicker deliveries

Real-time inventory using Zoho Inventory.

3. Cut Shipping Cost

Compare the best rates DHL and FedEx could provide along with other local courier companies

Ship in bulk and multi-mode to bring shipping costs down.

4. Ease Customs & Compliance

Do not delay shipment using a customs broker

Tools such as Zonos, or FedEx Trade Networks offer automated compliance solutions.

5. Payment and Delivery Options should be Seamless

Accept multiple payments (PayPal, Stripe, Buy Now Pay Later).

Offer real-time tracking to gain the trust of customers.

6. Tech & Automation

ShipRocket, Easyship – Compare international shipping rates.

AfterShip – Offer updates on order tracking.
