When selling on Amazon, logistics takes far more time and attention than most sellers ever plan for.

After years of disruption, supply chain coordination now demands far more focus from sellers, often at the expense of the work that actually grows the business. 

For many, that means hours spent coordinating factories, freight, customs, inspections, and delivery instead of working on products, inventory, and cash flow. 

If you’re managing multiple stores, running e-commerce alongside another business, or pushing past $50K/month, you know:

Spending over 8-10 hours coordinating vendors for a single shipment is not sustainable. 

By managing sourcing and shipping across separate vendors and tools, sellers end up slowing down launches, losing cost clarity, and forfeiting time that could be spent strategizing for their business. Ship4wd, the leading digital freight forwarding solution for SMBs was built to change that. 

The shift: Consolidation

Instead of optimizing every shipment for the lowest rate or splitting responsibility across multiple vendors, sellers are looking for ways to reduce fragmentation and reclaim their time.

The focus shifts to: 

• Verified factory sourcing over headline pricing 

• Shipping partners experienced with the realities and sensitivities of FBA deliveries 

• A single point of contact instead of multiple handoffs 

• Clear, all-in landed costs upfront and pricing transparency 

• Direct factory access, fully managed 

• Digital tools for better efficiency, moving away from emails and spreadsheets

How sellers are simplifying this
(without building a big ops team)
