What’s so great about fulfillment companies?
Since the ecommerce industry has grown exponentially
over the past decade, other companies--mostly those that provide some type of
outsourced service--have grown right along with them. Fulfillment companies provide
order processing, packing, and shipping services to these types of companies so
that they can focus strictly on the online aspect of their business. So, what’s
so great about a fulfillment company? Is it time that your company
considered one? Read on to find out.
Fulfillment companies as a helpful form of outsourcing
First, some fulfillment companies will accept
orders and contracts from ecommerce business companies of any size. You don’t
have to be sending out several thousand orders everyday--you can just be
sending a few! With fulfillment companies, there is no minimum order or volume
each month. Some companies even offer no hidden fees, no setup fees, and no
storage fees. Many also offer deals that do not come with long term
contracts--that means you can cancel your order at anytime if you are unhappy
with it.
Here are a few things your fulfillment company might
provide you with:
*Inventory management and statistics
*Hand assembly of products
*Returns processing/customer support
*Payment processing
*Inventory storage
*Low shipping rates (through Fedex and UPS)
and much, much more! Fulfillment companies care
about your business reputation and relationship with clients because they
realize that if you aren’t in business, neither are they! Many fulfillment
service warehouses are already equipped with different kinds of storage
space--some have large rooms to store your products, others have cold spaces in
addition to that, and multiple docks to support large inbound and outbound
orders.
