When you sell products over the internet, the process between a customer actually placing the order and it being delivered to their front door is known as order fulfilment.
While some companies are happy to fulfil their order themselves (using a delivery service to take care of postage), some prefer to outsource their order fulfilment to a specialist company.
With online retail having experienced such rapid growth over the last decade, there are many benefits associated with this practice. For instance, outsourcing order fulfilment is likely to lead to lower shipping costs.
Also on the cost front, outsourcing will almost definitely cost you less than the fees associated with renting a warehouse. On top of that you won’t have to worry about the hassles generally associated with running a warehouse in the first place, or employing staff to oversee it.
Perhaps one of the biggest plus points about outsourcing order fulfilment is that it simply frees you up to do other things. Whether that’s looking at ways to grow your business, improve your service or develop new products, you can rest assured you’ll have a bit more time on your plate without having to worry about overseeing the delivery process.
Whether your business needs deliveries completed on a daily basis or it requires a more specialist service that requires high volumes of orders to be fulfilled only on specific dates, you can rest assured that TNT Post’s order fulfilment service will be able to satisfy your needs.
