Fulfillment centers, especially those that have incredible performance but lack bigger clientele, have found it difficult to make a name for themselves in the market.
That’s mostly because there’s not been a platform that serves as a benchmark or as a directory for fulfillment providers, yet.
At Izba and Capabl, we have felt the need for a collective effort to streamline eCommerce fulfillment for not just brands, but for providers who are looking for representation and partners as well.
This is why we’re introducing Izba Exchange, the world’s first fulfillment directory that audits all the providers it features in order to promote them according to their statistical performance.
What is Izba Exchange for Fulfillment Providers?
Think of the Exchange as the ideal place to list your business to not just attract potential clients but also to gauge your performance against your competition.
The Exchange is powered by artificial intelligence that uses a machine learning algorithm to understand a large variety of business needs that brands have regarding fulfillment.
While the machine makes sure that brands are matched with the right providers according to their needs, our auditors make sure that all featured fulfillment providers are evaluated and ranked according to their performance.
In a nutshell, here’s what fulfillment centers can expect from the Exchange:
- Find New Brands
- Create and Manage Profiles
- Benchmark Competition
- Lead Sharing
Find new Brands
With a database as robust and deep as the exchange, we anticipate this becoming one of the top destinations for this level of high intent traffic.
That means providers that are listed and audited are bound to be highlighted and matched with brands that seek their services.
The market is filled with up-and-coming brands and companies that are seeking fulfillment but have no particular platform to help them narrow down potential options.
Other than search engine and social media marketing, fulfillment centers hardly have any other way of reaching out to their target audience.
And even if you do have the marketing team to promote your business, you can’t always show your performance, especially in comparison to your competition.
This is where those without a marketing team can lag behind not because the competition is better at fulfillment, but because their marketing budgets were higher.
On the other end, brands that end up with inefficient providers eventually feel the brunt of not having the best partners on their side.
Which is where supply chain consultants come in and match them with the best providers.
The Exchange hopes to make things simpler and easier for providers as well as brands to find the best match for each other. We anticipate it to become the white pages for fulfillment.
Create, Curate and Update Profiles
We’re offering fulfillment providers the opportunity to define their business in their own terms and represent themselves with their custom profiles featured on the Exchange.
Think of this as the place you can boast about your value-added services and other unique factors that set you apart.
In addition to your performance, stand out by appealing to the audience’s needs and demands with your message. Providers who maintain a robust profile on the exchange should be able to attract additional brands.
However, it’s obvious that your performance will be the first and the most important thing for brands.
Benchmark Competition
With the Exchange, fulfillment providers can easily keep an eye on their competition by viewing other profiles.
With featured statistics to compete against, post-fulfillment analytics will play an important part in determining the efficiency of each provider.
We want fulfillment centers to have fair market competition along with a chance to expand their business horizons with potential partnerships and insights.
As of launch, the Exchange has signed up 1000+ fulfillment centers, a number that continues to grow with each day.
Soon, from white pages, we anticipate the Exchange to become a global directory featuring fulfillment providers around the globe.
Lead Sharing
You’re probably wondering what the point of signing yourself up here would be. The answer is simple, Leads.
At no charge, you can simply create your profile and get contacted whenever someone shows interest or you can have your business audited by our experts.
The Exchange is anticipated to bring in businesses that require fulfillment. These interested brands can use our Match Me service to get in touch with us and explain their requirements.
As supply chain consultants, our job is to match them with verified and reliable fulfillment partners. This is where our audited providers will be recommended and Izba will lead introductions between the parties.
