What is logistics outsourcing?

Logistics outsourcing refers to the practice of transferring logistics tasks – such as warehousing, order fulfillment, and shipping – to an external service provider that specializes in supply chain operations.

Logistics outsourcing in eCommerce

In eCommerce, outsourcing logistics enables brands to scale faster, reduce operational complexity, and improve delivery performance. Instead of managing warehouses and carriers internally, companies work with fulfillment providers like everstox to handle storage, pick & pack, shipping, and returns. The everstox platform connects merchants to a network of trusted partners across Europe, the UK, and the US – offering real-time visibility, flexibility, and automation at every stage of the supply chain.

Example for logistics outsourcing

A growing food brand wants to expand into multiple European markets. Instead of building its own infrastructure, it outsources fulfillment to everstox. Orders are automatically routed to regional warehouses, packed, and delivered by local carriers – all tracked centrally via the platform.
