You might have the best product in the world. Your website is epic. And your sales funnel slides your customers easily to the checkout. If your eCommerce fulfillment doesn’t run smoothly, however, your web-based business will be all splash and no cash. Ecommerce fulfillment may not be the thing that gets you excited about your online business. However, it is a crucial element of your success in online retail.
Some advantages of outsourcing your eCommerce fulfillment include:
Flexible shelf space that can scale up quickly as you grow.
Your orders will be picked and packed by trained professionals who specialize in order fulfillment.
Your resources are freed up to pursue business development.
You aren’t stuck with a lease for expensive space you might not need.
You can choose a centrally located fulfillment warehouse that’s able to ship orders to your customers more quickly.
At Fair Trade, our Core Services include:
RECEIVING
Pallets of your merchandise ship to our fulfillment warehouse. Then, those pallets get logged into inventory and placed on shelves, ready to fill your orders.
Receiving is the spot where many fulfillment warehouses fall short. When pallets sit on a loading dock, your products aren’t in inventory. Of course, no inventory means no sales.
You send us a packaging list together with your physical items. Based on your requirements, we unpack or store away your products in our storage locations. Each location is tracked through our WMS system to ensure granular tracking and safety.
STORAGE
We charge a flat charge per location/CBM, prorated to amount of usage in a month.
PICK AND PACK
When an order comes in, our fulfillment team will pick the right items to put in the box.
A floor worker will pack them in the perfect box. With centrally located fulfillment warehouses, shipping to your customers is speedy. This is our pick and pack service. You send us an order; we retrieve the order items from the storage location and prepare/pack them for shipment.
RETURNS aka Reverse Logistics
You can’t avoid eCommerce returns. Ease of returns is important to eCommerce shoppers. This can be a major factor to drive your sales. Logging in returns is an important function of eCommerce fulfillment. The more quickly your fulfillment provider processes returns, the more quickly your customer will get a refund. Efficient returns also get your stock back on the shelf so it’s available to sell again. This includes inspection and re-storage into a proper storage location with inventory adjustments. Damages highlighted to you and repairs will be charged at actuals as per your instructions.
ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
This is our fee to manage your account. This includes billing, statements, and client support.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
BARCODES, BUNDLING, CUSTOM PACKAGING, OVERSIZED ITEMS
