[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Order fulfillment is a critical aspect of operations for businesses in many industries. From aerospace and consumer electronics manufacturing, to e-commerce and subscription box retail, these businesses need efficient, accurate and cost-effective fulfillment services in order to maintain and grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generally, order fulfillment is executed in one of three ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Drop-shipping, where the manufacturer ships direct to the customer.<\/li>\n
  2. In-house, where the seller fulfills orders on-site.<\/li>\n
  3. 3rd party, where an off-site partner handles the fulfillment of customer orders. This is known as 3PL or Third Party Fulfillment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Many companies choose to outsource their order fulfillment since this 3rd party management of the fulfillment process results in some key benefits to the bottom-line. Manufacturers don’t need to lease warehouse space<\/b> for their inventory since the outsourced fulfillment partner handles this. By outsourcing, companies can enjoy more flexible overhead and labor costs<\/b>, which enables them to grow more quickly<\/b>. Often times, businesses that outsource their fulfillment needs find more efficiency and effectiveness<\/b> with their business, while eliminating shipping errors and reducing overall costs<\/b>.<\/p>\n
