Logistics, what's that?

Imagine you have a small online business where you sell various products. Now, handling the entire process of receiving orders, storing inventory, packing items, and shipping them out to customers can be quite a complex task. This entire process is known as logistics.

Shipment handling

Now, let's focus on the shipping and handling part. A fulfilment service is like having a dedicated team that takes care of all these logistics for you. Instead of dealing with the hassle of managing a warehouse, packing boxes, and arranging for shipping, you can partner with a fulfilment service.

But how does it work?

Here's how it works: You send your products to a fulfilment centre. They store your inventory, and when a customer places an order on your online store, the fulfilment service takes care of everything from picking the right items, packing them securely, and shipping them out to your customers. They handle the entire fulfilment process, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business, like marketing, product development, or customer service.

In summary...

In a nutshell, a fulfilment service is like having a 3PL partner in your pocket that streamlines and manages the entire process of getting your products from your storage to your customers' doorstep, saving you time and effort.
