Fulfillment Centers are in the Business of Doing Business
Businesses, whether it’s retail, health care or financial, all have one thing in common. Every business has something to deliver to customers. Almost any business depends on distribution of printed promotional materials, such as literature or catalogs to their customers. How can your business handle the logistics and fulfillment of everything.
Retail, DRTV, call centers or online orders, are just a few efficient ways to take your business from the POS (Point of Sale) to the actual delivery to the customer. A cost effective strategy is to employ a fulfillment company to take care of the logistics for you. They are more efficient on storing the product at their warehouse, controlling the inventory with bar codes and RF systems, integrating a “Pick and Pack” system, and shipping it to the customer. They can save you time and money and increase your efficiency.
The different types of fulfillment services include, but are not limited to: Products, Call Center operations, literature and promotional distribution, and direct mailing. Online business can be handled too, offering web design with shopping cart integration to the distribution of the product to the customer.
The operations of the business, including orders, invoices or delivery schedules use EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) instead of paper, which is cost effective. A fulfillment company can save money on shipping costs with all the various carriers due to the volume of business they do. The company you hire will determine the best way, with the fastest delivery and at the lowest rate to get your products to the customer on time.
Other services that are provided by a fulfillment service include preparing press kits that include video/DVD, posters, POS materials or premiums. The components of the kits can be stored, assembled and shipped at a significant savings.
Providing online status of orders can be offered 24/7 allowing the client to track the process from beginning to end of the fulfillment process. Online reporting is available at any time, providing real time information to their clients.
It doesn’t matter if your business is DRTV, retail, nutraceutical, entertainment, catalog, travel and tourism, health care, financial, or ecommerce, a fulfillment center can take your product through the entire cycle of business. Starting with the order to the point of delivering it to your customer, they can provide many services in a cost effective and timely way and keep your business on the road to success.
