In a depressed economy, companies are looking at any supply chain process where they can save time, money or resources. Drop shipping is a popular process where companies can reduce the need to keep inventory in their warehouse, lower their overall shipping costs and improve customer service.
The drop shipment process allows companies to collect sales orders information from customers and send that information to their manufacturers. Those manufacturers will then ship the items directly to the customers.
