While this is a scenario few retailers could ever imagine, as the uncertainty of recent times continues, more retailers are being forced to seriously think about how to prepare to avoid possible inventory shortages.<\/p>\n<p>The need to accommodate more online orders is still at near holiday peak levels, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rithum.com\/resources\/ecommerce-proves-essential-to-retails-new-normal\/\">this according to recent Rithum data<\/a>. So, what can retailers do to safeguard inventory levels? Put simply\u2014expand assortment and your network of suppliers via drop ship.<\/p>\n<p>Agility and a supply chain that is demand-driven and responsive is key. This can only be achieved with capabilities that enable you to quickly add to product categories or shift to new product categories without incurring the capital expense of housing owned inventory. It also requires access to a large network of suppliers, distributors to deliver what customers need.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: rgba(0, 117, 255,.1); padding: 25px; margin-bottom: 25px; color: #363636;\">\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00458f;\"><strong>Drop shipping allows you to<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Expand product assortment quickly<\/li>\n<li>Rely on a wider network of suppliers to meet inventory needs<\/li>\n<li>Maintain low overheads<\/li>\n<li>Provide a great customer experience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Retailers who are actively utilizing their ecommerce platforms and taking advantage of drop-ship capabilities to be more agile in this time of uncertainty are seeing the benefits.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0075ff;\"><strong>One of the most valuable things about drop shipping and having a digital supply chain is being able to rely on thousands of suppliers to continue to keep the supply chain going.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With drop shipping, retailers are able to\u00a0<strong>supplement\u00a0inventory<\/strong> that\u2019s in their warehouses and get it distributed across third-party logistics companies or their drop-ship suppliers to continue to sell and diversify and mitigate inventory distribution and fulfillment risk, which is important right now.\u00a0Sourcing products through multiple channels\u2014using stores, your own fulfillment\/distribution centers and drop-ship suppliers to fulfill demand gives you added flexibility, which helps to minimize the risk of out of stock.<\/p>\n<p>Drop shipping allows you to <strong>be both reactive and proactive in response to demand<\/strong> and anomalies that might impact your business. It also helps to minimize the risks and cost associated with purchasing and moving stock unnecessarily, particularly during periods of uncertainty and heightened demand. Drop ship enables you to source directly from suppliers when products go out of stock. For example, if several suppliers fulfill similar items, this solution offers a backup plan if one supplier runs low on inventory, keeping the customer experience intact.<\/p>\n<p>A retailer can work with their suppliers to <strong>plan for inventory needs<\/strong>. This is especially important for top-performing products (Hero SKUs).\u00a0The ability to work with a third-party logistics (3PL) partner like Ingram Micro and house top selling products using their vast network of distribution centers is an important benefit you can gain from virtual fulfillment via drop ship. The peaks in demand can be hard to manage so having more weeks of supply (WOS) inventory on top performers will help mitigate possible inventory shortfalls.<\/p>\n<p>Another important benefit that drop ship enables is the <strong>ability to manage volume<\/strong> \u2013 the pandemic has led to peak like volumes for many retailers and this in turn has caused delays in delivery.\u00a0The diversification of inventory allows for retailers to bypass a fulfillment location that is overwhelmed and ship a product from another location that has capacity.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5210\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rithum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/blog-frank-quote3-1024x214-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3240\" height=\"678\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt takes a moment like we\u2019re seeing now to bring drop ship back into the spotlight.
