Operational costs extend beyond just inventory. They include expenses related to warehousing, packaging, shipping, and handling returns. These tasks require resources, both in terms of staff and infrastructure. Orangetheory estimates that in a typical year, approximately 6,500+ hours are saved for their studios, in total, using the B2B dropshipping marketplace. This is calculated as an average of 30 minutes of time savings per order placed for franchisees that previously had to leave the studio to shop or browse online through multiple stores.
