What Is a Fulfillment Center?
In logistics, fulfillment means receiving the order, storing the goods, picking and packaging them, and shipping them to the customer or a retail store. A fulfillment center does exactly that. When you outsource your fulfillment needs, our team processes, packs, and ships the goods to the end customer, enabling you to focus on business growth while the center handles your logistics.
Differences Between a Fulfillment Center and Warehouse
There is a common misconception that fulfillment centers and warehouses are the same, but there are several key differences between them. In general, fulfillment centers offer more in depth services, which are ideal for e-commerce and retail businesses.
Here are some differences:
- A fulfillment center focuses on receiving, storing, picking and packaging, and shipping goods, whereas a warehouse focuses on storing goods and materials.
- A fulfillment center picks, packs, and ships goods to the end customer, whereas a warehouse center only stores goods and materials. Sometimes it can pick up and pack cargo but does not ship to the end customer.
- A fulfillment center handles returns of the goods from the customers. The center typically has processes in place to receive the returned items, inspect them for quality or damage, restock them, and process the refunds. On the other hand, a warehouse center doesn’t handle the return of goods and materials from customers.
Benefits that a Fulfillment Center Offers
Outsourcing fulfillment services to a specialized fulfillment warehouse comes with several benefits. Here are some of the benefits:
- Streamlines the fulfillment process: As a result, you save time and resources.
- Outsourcing fulfillment services reduces costs: Reducing your dependency on in-house warehousing, labor, and logistics infrastructure also helps save money.
- Fulfillment centers are equipped with advanced technology to expedite order processing. This means orders can be picked, packed, and delivered more quickly, leading to customer satisfaction.
