Streamline your eCommerce fulfillment model
Are you looking to improve eCommerce fulfillment? Our eCommerce solutions can help you get the data you need from suppliers to efficiently fulfill orders and delight your customers.
What is an eCommerce fulfillment model?
eCommerce fulfillment models can take many forms, including:
- Fulfilling orders from a distribution center or warehouse to a store or a consumer’s home
- Fulfilling orders from stores for in-store pickup
- Fulfilling orders from stores to a consumer’s home
- Drop shipping, which most often refers to a supplier fulfilling an order on behalf of a retailer, distributor or marketplace from inventory the supplier owns
Do any of these common eCommerce fulfillment issues sound familiar?
- Your suppliers’ item information is inaccurate, missing or not as detailed as what consumers expect
- You don’t have updated inventory information from suppliers
- You don’t receive timely updates into order status
- You and your customers don’t know when an order has shipped or when it will arrive
- Labels, pack slips and other shipping documentation don’t always align with your brand
- You need access to more drop-ship capable suppliers
- You can’t measure how suppliers are performing
“When we think about the drop-ship initiative, it’s something that should open up to our customer base a whole breadth of items that otherwise wouldn’t be available today because of not being able to meet minimums to really bring into our warehouses. And the SPS platform will really help us to create that seamless integration with our online eCommerce platform.”
