The Power of Cross-Border E-commerce
The Power of Cross-Border E-commerce: How We Grow Webshops is leading the way
During the past years, cross-border e-commerce has become a crucial strategy for businesses looking to expand their reach and tap into international markets. But what exactly is cross-border e-commerce? It refers to selling products beyond a company's home country, crossing national borders effectively to reach a broader customer base. In simple words, it means collecting parcels in one country (Country A) and directly injecting them into another country (Country B), so that the shipment is considered domestic (B->B) rather than international (A->B) this approach not only simplifies logistics, but also reduces costs, making it a highly efficient way to expand globally.
In today’s e-commerce landscape, cross-border e-commerce is a growing trend. During the first half of 2024, cross-border online spending rose by 16%, reaching 2.3 billion euros. The number of online purchases made across borders also increased by 6%, with over 20.3 million orders shipped internationally. This rising demand emphasizes the potential for businesses to thrive by tapping into global markets.
The efficiency of cross-border shipping with We Grow Webshops
We Grow Webshops (WGW) has been at the forefront of cross-border e-commerce logistics in Europe for the past five years. With more than 45 local shipping contracts across Europe, WGW offers tailored, competitive solutions that cater to both small and large businesses.
What sets WGW apart from traditional carriers is our strategic transport network. We operate multiple fulfilment and return hubs across Europe, ensuring that goods are swiftly picked up, processed, and injected into local markets. With daily line-hauls between key European regions, we ensure a direct injection of parcels into local carrier networks, including industry leaders like EVRi, DHL, BPost, Colis Privé, and Correos. This approach guarantees next-day delivery to major markets like Germany and beyond.
Unlike regular carriers, which often mix parcels and require sorting and re-labeling at various points in the supply chain, WGW simplifies the process. After a single pick-up, we immediately sort and inject the parcels directly into the international market. This streamlined operation eliminates the need for multiple warehouse stops, reducing delays and costs associated with traditional cross-border shipping. Our process makes shipping faster and more cost-effective, meeting the needs of today’s fast-paced e-commerce environment.
