Fulfillment what is it?

Fulfillment what is it? In the simplest terms, fulfilment is about outsourcing logistics services to an external company. Online shops handling an ever-increasing number of orders are looking for solutions that enable efficient shipping and shorten the time it takes to deliver goods to customers. Fulfillment is the answer to these needs, and process optimisation translates into low shipping costs. Fulfillment is also the ideal solution for those starting out in e-commerce; thanks to outsourcing, parcel distribution will always be carried out at the highest level. Online shops cooperating with a logistics company hand over some of the duties related to order processing. These include packaging, shipping, and storage of goods. During periods of increased sales, the online shop needs significantly more space to store orders. It is worth considering delegating the storage and dispatch of products, which speeds up the whole process considerably and allows the company to grow quietly.

In online shops, logistics play a key role. When buying online, customers pay attention not only to the product range, but also to the cost and shipping time. Fast delivery of items makes the customer more likely to make a purchase and visit the shop again, which will lead to more orders. In order to attract new customers and ensure their comfort, it is worth taking care of the proper distribution of shipments. Logistics companies specialise in the shipment of goods and are therefore able to take care of proper protection, picking and storage of goods. Growing online shops are a challenge for their owners, who must ensure that the solutions are as beneficial as possible. Delegating parcel distribution responsibilities means comfort and attention to professionalism. Help with order processing in the e-commerce industry is essential!

Benefits of choosing InPost Fulfillment

Using InPost Fulfillment, the online shop owner does not have to worry about packing, picking, shipping and storing items. As part of fulfillment, everything is taken care of by the company, which makes sure that online shop customers receive goods without damage, in the shortest possible time. If you are still not convinced that outsourcing logistics services is the ideal solution for e-commerce, find out about the advantages of fulfilment from InPost.

• Working with a logistics company streamlines the handling of orders, giving the online shop owner more time to develop the business in different areas.
• Time is of the essence in the e-commerce industry. Customers want to receive goods as quickly as possible, and waiting for orders is crucial when choosing an online shop. By outsourcing the distribution of parcels to an external partner, the time in which goods arrive is reduced.
• As online shop owners do not have to rent additional space, the costs associated with storage are on the logistics company's side - you only pay for the space used.
• Proper storage in the warehouse allows products to reach the customer intact. The logistics centre that InPost has at its disposal allows goods to be received, stored and packaged safely.
• Online shops that do not have their own warehouse choose fulfilment in order to provide a convenient storage service. So you no longer need to worry about choosing a warehouse - everything is taken care of by a logistics partner with its own spaces where the products are located.
• What other possibilities does InPost offer? Repackaging, replacing packaging or sticking a label. These are additional options so that online shop employees do not have to deal with this.

How does InPost Fulfillment work?

Fulfilment services are solutions that online shop owners choose because they want to maintain professionalism when handling orders. After all, logistics service providers know best! How does InPost Fulfillment work step by step?

• The process of putting products into the warehouse is the first stage of fulfilment. The warehouse is the place where goods are stored and then shipped. By ensuring safe conditions, the online shop owner does not have to worry about their goods being damaged or inadequately secured. A professional storage facility should be distinguished by a space adapted to the number of goods to be received. Therefore, it is worth trusting the company with which you enter into cooperation and checking its offer carefully.
• Management of the order handling is carried out by specialised people, so the whole process is handled accordingly.
• Goods purchased by the customer from the webshop are efficiently packed and completed so that they leave the warehouse as quickly as possible. Additional items such as advertising material or necessary documents may also be included in the packages.
• The last step is the journey of the parcel from the warehouse to the customer (it is delivered by courier to the Parcel Machine® or straight to your home). Orders placed by 8 p.m. can even be dispatched the same day!

InPost cares for both private customers and the e-commerce companies it works with. In order to meet expectations, the fulfillment offer has been extended to also handle returns of goods, purchase of packaging, attaching leaflets and documents, labelling and comprehensive B2B customer service. These are additional benefits offered to online shops. Providing online shops with packaging streamlines the entire process of shipping goods. There is nothing left to do but to partner with InPost and make your customer order service as good as possible!
