BOOK A DEMO

ADVANCED E-COMMERCE MANAGEMENT BASED ON THE DROP SHIPPING MODEL

LEA Reply™ Dropship facilitates the use of the drop shipping model for e-Commerce shipments. It coordinates and oversees the entire cycle, from the supplier request, preparation of the order, packaging of the products and handoff to the courier. The solution can also manage after sales services such as home installations or pickups. The entire e-Commerce logistics process is effectively managed and monitored using dashboards, KPI charts and real-time notifications.

THE SOLUTION

LEA Reply™ Dropship manages the e-Commerce shipments made directly by Suppliers.

THE PROCESS

Communications from the e-Commerce shopping basket directly to the Supplier – Progress Tracking of preparation activities; Packaging; Shipping; and Returns.

BENEFITS

Integration between retailers and third party sellers with inventory management and real-time progress of the order fulfilment process.

THE SOLUTION

Drop shipping is an advanced e-Commerce technique that enables suppliers to prepare and ship products ordered by the end customer. This model, which has seen increasing application, guarantees considerable benefits, including:

  • A broader product range available on the e-Commerce site
  • Lower warehouse logistics costs
  • Fewer stock shortages
  • Reduction in financial flows, with products purchased from suppliers only after their sale


The application of the Drop shipping model introduces a more complex and intricate interaction with suppliers and couriers. A careful organisation is therefore essential for maintaining the quality of the shopping experience without sacrificing KPIs related to the punctuality and completeness of deliveries. LEA Reply™ Dropship is the perfect solution for taking advantage of the benefits offered by this model, without reducing quality and control. The cloud solution offers strong advantages within a model in which tens to hundreds of suppliers and couriers are involved and tightly integrated. LEA Reply™ Dropship is a simple and convenient solution for suppliers to adopt, and it offers various levels of integration: from complete system-system integration using web services, to a lighter collaboration based on a Web portal. Graphical KPIs and dashboards make it possible to guarantee the efficiency of the process and monitor order fulfilment activities, facilitating an integrated view of the progress of Drop shipping orders, as well as those handled using internal logistics.
