The Basics On Fulfillment Solutions And Warehousing

By Rena Hudson


According to the executive editor for logistics Management and Chain Supply Management Review Websites and magazines, Patrick Burnson, the fulfillment solutions and the warehousing seems to be undergoing very important changes. Companies are integrating the concept of e commerce into their whole strategy. They make decisions on whether to satisfy the orders on e commerce from facilities that are separate, and on the physical locations of warehousing, and still fulfilling orders on e commerce, from other existing warehouses and in store.

A fulfillment solution simply means to offer help to the entrepreneur who sends his or her products or goods to his or her consumers, from the beginning to the end. They usually deal with keeping of goods in the warehouse, dealing with the processing of orders and packaging of goods. They are ideal in shipping and tracking of their products.

As much as this change seems to be distinct from one company to the next, the swiftness to fulfill and the choices in the location for final delivery are the same for most of the companies. The visibility need over the whole process is definitely on high demand as supply chains of companies are made more complex. Cathy Roberson, of the London based think tank, explores this issue with detail in her paper, transport intelligence.

First, you need to probe and examine what your business really needs as at now. In addition, consider the needs that are highly anticipated for the near future. This is very important.

They are in a position of enabling your orders warehoused, packaged and shipped. Be it a single distribution of an item or it is a bulk distribution, they have the resources and the capabilities of handling every step of the process.

The truth is that the management of the process of delivery has become complicated because locations from warehouse centers are not just for physical stores any more. Currently, these facilities are now in the position to deliver the products via shipping to the customer directly. There is also the use a site that is neutral such as maybe UPS store or any other retailer, or to the physical store for picking up of the product.

The companies that are mostly IT based decided to delve into the expansion of their system mechanisms on various departments. These include warehouse management, transport management mechanisms, and other IT based solutions. This as to make them be in a capable position of meeting the flexibility needs, not only repealing needs for transportation, but also for management for inventory and the visibility need.

Some of the most recognized and excellent service fulfillment solutions companies include The GDF fulfillment solutions, Z3 Graphics fulfillment solutions, Blue Grass companies, Bastian Solutions among others. They are also known to offer national and international shipping services, some of them are known to offer return processing systems, and they are able to process credit cards through shopping carts.
