As the operator of a virtual storefront, your\u00a0eCommerce business<\/a>\u00a0needs storage for your products and a way to fulfill orders. Which will better satisfy your needs:\u00a0a warehouse or a fulfillment company<\/a>? Take a closer look at how each one works.<\/p>\n

Difference Between Warehouse and Fulfillment Center<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Warehouses are widely used by both eCommerce shops and brick-and-mortar stores. These large facilities provide storage for a company\u2019s inventory until it\u2019s sold. Individual SKUs (stock keeping units) are kept on shelves or in storage bins and containers to facilitate order-picking.<\/p>\n

\u2022 On the other hand, a fulfillment center is a more comprehensive operation. In addition to storing product, a fulfillment center generally handles the entire process, from inventory management to order filling and shipping. These centers are sometimes referred to as a\u00a0third-party logistics provider<\/a>, or 3PL.<\/p>\n

Benefits of a Fulfillment Company<\/h3>\n

\u2022 In business, larger volume means better pricing. A fulfillment center manages a number of customers, allowing them to receive more advantageous pricing on supplies and transportation than you could ever obtain on your own.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Are you finding it difficult to keep up with the ever-increasing number of orders? Is it taking too long for customers to receive their products? Fulfillment centers have streamlined processes that can be\u00a0scaled to accommodate company growth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Order fulfillment involves many moving parts. Managing this side of your business on your own is cumbersome and time-consuming. When you partner with a fulfillment warehouse, it frees you up to spend your time and energy growing your business.<\/p>\n
