Bscale: end-to-end logistics operations to scale up your business

Bscale is designed for fast onboarding and seamless operations. Based on a plug-and-play, modular concept, it allows you to get up and running without the usual lengthy onboarding timeframe. Once your online store is connected and your inventory is in place, you can start shipping through Bleckmann’s European and global network right away.

Outsourcing your logistics operations to a third-party fashion logistics provider can help you to maintain and even enhance your brand’s customer experience as your business grows. Faster delivery times, optimized transportation networks, and more efficient warehouse processes help reduce delays and ensure reliability. Automated systems like Bleckmann’s AutoStore solution, for example, can reduce order processing times by up to 60%. In addition to improved efficiency, value-added services and customizable packaging and branding can further enhance your service quality, helping you build a strong brand identity and leave a lasting impression on customers with every delivery.

Bscale is a modular, plug-and-play solution that gives you access to enterprise-grade logistics services, whatever the size of your brand. You’ll benefit from Bleckmann’s high-tech warehousing capabilities, omnichannel fulfilment across Europe and beyond through our extensive carrier network, and integrated returns management.

Bscale is designed for rapid start- and scale-up, eliminating the typical barriers to entry that brands of all sizes face. Service costs depend on your volumes, service scope, and markets served. With this flexible, scalable ‘pay-as-you-grow’ model, you only pay for the services you use – avoiding heavy upfront investment and aligning costs with your growth.

Keeping your logistics in-house can often be a barrier to delivering on your brand’s growth strategy due to the high cost of expanding your own operations. As more and more orders come in, it can become increasingly difficult to provide a consistent level of service – whether it’s down to a lack of space, infrastructure, or technology. In contrast, a specialist fashion logistics partner can offer a fully scalable logistics solution and framework that’s capable of seamlessly supporting both temporary spikes in demand and underlying growth. What’s more, an established apparel 3PL will have specialised expertise – as well as best-in-class resources and processes – that can help you to maximize efficiency and enhance your customer experience.

Recognizing when it’s time to outsource your brand’s logistics is crucial to maintaining high levels of operational efficiency and customer experience as your business expands. But how do you know it’s time to work with an external partner? Managing logistics in-house may be taking focus away from other key areas of your business, or the cost of expanding your in-house capabilities may become unsustainable. Inconsistencies in inventory management or deliveries can also be telltale signs that handling logistics in-house is no longer viable for your brand. Outsourcing to an experienced fashion logistics provider can give you the scalable capacity you need to elevate your customer experience and streamline your brand’s growth journey.

If not managed properly, integrating your brand’s e-commerce platform with your third-party logistics provider’s systems can be a complex and lengthy process. That’s why conducting due diligence on potential e-commerce logistics partners is key to achieving a smooth and speedy integration. For example, you should check whether their systems are compatible with your platform(s) and if they offer plug-and-play e-commerce logistics solutions. Rigorous testing of your newly integrated set-up before going live is also highly recommended. Successful IT integration with your e-commerce logistics provider can deliver multiple benefits, including improved operational efficiency and real-time oversight, helping to deliver an exemplary customer experience.
