Breaking Down The Fulfillment Process

Breaking Down The Fulfillment Process

If this past holiday season provided any insights into shopping trends, it proved that e-commerce and online shopping continue to gain ground on in-store shopping sales. This shift to online shopping was initially driven by convenience on the consumer’s part and as a necessity on the online vendor’s end. As e-commerce platforms have evolved, major retailers with brick and mortar stores are also contributing to the shift to e-commerce by offering products online that customers can’t buy in their retail locations. With this shift to purchasing gifts online comes the added stress of delivering those gifts on time consistently. In a Finances Online article, an IBISWorld study found that “Fulfillment is big business and the entire industry is worth around $22 billion.” In 2017, the US warehousing industry consisted of 957,000 employees, a growth of 46% from 2007.

In-House Fulfillment Good For Some, Costly For Most

While in-house fulfillment can be good for perishable, handmade, and niche products, it can put the brakes on growth potential for rising companies. Taking on your own fulfillment activities often stops businesses in their tracks, expending untold amounts of talent and time trying to work out the intricacies of freight regulations, sourcing branded packing materials and securing a warehouse to store their inventory.
