Frequently asked questions

What is e-commmerce order fulfilment and what does a fulfilment service provider do?

E-commerce order fulfillment is the process of storing, picking, packing, and shipping products for your online orders, both directly to customers and to trade customers.   A fulfillment service company handles any third party logistics (3PL) requirements such as warehousing, haulage and transportation for e-commerce businesses. They: 

  • store your products in a warehouse
  • manage inventory
  • process your orders by picking and packing items 
  • ship orders to your customers 
  • Handle any returns and exchanges

What is the process after we sign the contract? How long does it take?

Once you sign the application form, we will begin the onboarding process immediately. It typically takes a maximum of 24 hours to complete this process, after which you’ll have full online access to the warehouse portal. We strive to make this transition as smooth and swift as possible, with ongoing training and support.

How easy is it for me to move from my current 3pl company?

Switching from your current 3PL provider to ours is designed to be a simple process. We provide dedicated support to guide you through the transition, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations. We will work closely with you to understand your needs, map out a transition plan, and implement it efficiently. Our goal is to make the transition seamless for you and your customers.

This is my first time using an order fulfilment company. Am I ready?

Being ready for an order fulfillment company often means having a consistent flow of orders and the need to streamline your order fulfilment process. If you’re looking to save time, reduce overhead  and ensure a professional delivery experience for your customers, then you’re more than likely ready. We’re here to help and answer any questions you might have.

What are the warehousing and fulfilment costs?

Can you ship internationally?

How does your software integrate with other platforms. Which platforms? How does this work?

This ensures real-time data syncing, keeping your inventory, order processing, and shipping details consistently updated. For a full list of integrations, get in touch using our contact page.

Absolutely! We provide a comprehensive suite of services customized for Amazon sellers, including FBA prep, FBM (Fulfilled By Merchant) order fulfillment, Amazon Vendor prep, and FNSKU labeling. We ensure your products are prepped and shipped in accordance with Amazon’s guidelines, streamlining your selling process.

What is a SKU?

 A SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique code used to identify and track a specific product in your inventory. SKU’s are very useful for distinguishing between items that are very similar but have different attributes, such as size, variation or colour.

How do I remain in control of my stock levels?

Our warehousing system equips you with live inventory tracking that instantly reflects any changes. With features like live updates and comprehensive reporting  (including stock history and flow), you can be confident in the accuracy and oversight of your stock.
