Case Study: How ShipCarte Helped a Small Business Scale from 50 to 500 Orders a Day

Scaling an e-commerce business is no small feat—especially when transitioning from a small, home-run operation to a high-volume enterprise. In this case study, we’ll explore how ShipCarte helped a family-owned business streamline its fulfillment process, enabling the new owners to scale sales without worrying about logistics.

The Challenge: From Home-Based Fulfillment to Rapid Growth

A small mom-and-pop business specializing in customized household products was operating out of a barn at their home, fulfilling 40-50 orders per day. Every product was made to order, requiring meticulous handling and a personalized touch.

When a new buyer acquired the business, they saw an opportunity to scale significantly—aiming to increase daily order volume to 400-500 orders. However, their existing fulfillment model couldn’t handle such rapid growth. They needed a solution that would:

✔ Scale production and fulfillment without sacrificing quality
✔ Reduce manual labor and streamline logistics
✔ Allow the new owners to focus on sales and marketing

That’s where ShipCarte stepped in.

The Solution: A Customized Fulfillment Strategy

Understanding the unique challenges of this business, ShipCarte developed a tailored fulfillment strategy to support the new buyers’ growth goals. The plan included:

🔹 Transitioning fulfillment from the home barn to a scalable warehouse solution – This move allowed for bulk production and faster turnaround times.

🔹 Implementing an optimized pick-and-pack system – Reducing errors and increasing order efficiency while maintaining the customization aspect of the products.

🔹 Integrating automation and real-time tracking – Streamlining inventory management, shipping coordination, and customer notifications.

With ShipCarte handling fulfillment, the new owners were free to focus on scaling their marketing efforts and expanding their customer base.

The Results: A Seamless Growth Transition

By outsourcing fulfillment to ShipCarte, the business successfully scaled from 50 orders a day to over 400 orders daily without operational bottlenecks.

📈 Key Outcomes:
✅ 10X increase in daily order capacity
✅ Faster processing times and reduced shipping delays
✅ More time to focus on sales and marketing
✅ Seamless customer experience with reliable fulfillment

The new owners no longer had to worry about logistics, allowing them to focus entirely on growing the brand and driving revenue.
