When the order placed by a customer has products located at different locations, it will be difficult to process such an order.
Therefore, the fulfillment closest to the customer takes up the
responsibility of fulfilling that order.
This kind of order fulfillment is known as Multi-locationfulfillment. Here are the benefits of
outsourcing:
1) Seamless Execution
Outsourcing your storage and packing needs to a 3PLservice provider allows seamless execution. With the help of
technology, the order number created is automatically assigned to the
fulfillment center closest to the customer.
2) Handle your business efficiently
By outsourcing to a multi-channel
fulfillment center, you can concentrate on your core business skills.
It can help you grow your business. You need not worry about storing products
in the warehouse. The fulfillment centers take care of the storing and packing.
Food grade items are also stored in warehouses in huge freezers.
3) User Experience
Creating a hassle-free experience for the users is what the
third-party providers achieve.
4) Online processing
All data tracking is handled online. Order numbers are assigned
to every order that has been placed. Data such as order history are available
for your research. Successful orders and failed orders data is also collected
to prevent future failure in orders. This helps in the growth and development
of your company.
Order processing is outlined below:
When a customer completes a purchase, a unique order number is
assigned. This order is then assigned to the fulfillment center closest to the
customer. It is now the responsibility of the fulfillment center to complete
the order. The product is packed and delivered. All order details are available
online. You can see every notification, such as order number, status, delivery
date, updated online for easy reference.
In conclusion, fulfillment centers are best for both B2C and B2B
companies. They take up the heavy load of packing and storing products for you.
