Why use Distributors. Network  To Facilitate Fulfilment?

Ecommerce companies can face many challenges when selling to customers outside their country. The extensive National and International Network of Distributors.Network can help address these challenges.

By storing stock in a local warehouse and using a local customer fulfilment centre, orders can be picked, packed and dispatched in shorter timeframes, complex export/import paperwork can be avoided, and goods face shorter journeys so are less likely to get damaged or lost in transit.

All these factors mean local fulfilment centres can save time, money and hassle.

What is a fulfilment centre?

A fulfilment centre is an integral part of the ecommerce supply chain. It’s the central hub from which a series of storage, fulfilment and logistics processes are carried out, in order to get a product bought online from the seller to the customer.

TradeDigitization.com local Logistics partners can handles the entire end to end order fulfilment process, including:

Goods in processes
Scalable specialist storage in local warehouses

Inventory management
Stock rotation and batch control
Pick, pack, and dispatch

Other services could include courier liaison, Customised reporting
Systems integration etc.

Fulfilment centre vs. warehouse: 

Warehouses are spaces primarily used for storage. The Logistics Partners in Distributors.Network can provide outsourced Warehouse Storage as necessary, particularly useful where there is a need for rapid fulfilment, as opposed to having to transport goods long distances. 

The purpose of a fulfilment service centre is to get online orders to customers in a timely fashion and relieve ecommerce companies of managing this crucial-yet-challenging process themselves.
