It is normal practice for companies to contract out the execution of order fulfillment to a third-party logistics service (3PL). The terms “fulfillment warehouse” and “fulfillment center” are also used to refer to these types of businesses.
Receiving orders, keeping inventory, processing orders, and delivering products to clients are some of the services that are offered by fulfillment.ae. Because of this, businesses can function without having to worry about dealing with shipping and managing their inventory.
So let us explore the features and services of Fulfillment.ae.
Product delivery to your fulfillment company
You can ship anything to your fulfillment service provider if you currently have inventory in stock. After that, any new inventory bought will be sent directly from the manufacturer to the company that does the fulfillment.
In most cases, you will need to provide the fulfillment company with either your purchase order or the order confirmation from the supplier before they can receive the products.
Processing inventory (receiving, sorting, and storage)
Your order fulfillment supplier will manage the entire inventory process after everything has been set up. This includes classifying the products after receiving them and appropriately storing them.
Before moving the shipments on to be sorted and stored, the associates of the provider will examine them to determine whether or not they are damaged and whether or not they are missing any things. In addition to helping you track sales volumes and other data, inventory tracking ensures that you always have the appropriate amount of inventory on hand.
Routing orders to your fulfillment provider
Once they have been put away, your products will be processed for orders. The order will be sent to the fulfillment provider if a client places an order, and the fulfillment provider will be responsible for packing and shipping the items. Integration of your point-of-sale (POS) system, order management software, or e-commerce platform with the system used by the fulfillment firm makes it possible to manage order processing effectively.
Processing order shipments
Your consumers are placing purchases, and it is now the responsibility of the fulfillment company to select items, bundle them, and send them out. They will ensure that the right products are chosen for transportation and that they are securely packed away. The fulfillment business will ensure that your goods are delivered on schedule and in good condition by sealing the boxes, weighing the order, and labeling the boxes in preparation for shipment. This will result in fewer requests for returns. In addition, if your fulfillment provider gets volume discounts, they can pass those savings through to you, allowing you to save money on shipping charges.
Processing customer returns
When working in retail, you will always encounter consumers who wish to return an item. When returning, the consumer is responsible for returning the item to the fulfillment source. After they have received it, the package will be examined, and if it meets the requirements, they will authorize a refund.
You will then select how you would like things to be handled. You may add it to your inventory, put it on clearance, or donate it to a charitable organization. You can request that your fulfillment supplier throw it away if it is damaged.
