As a growing e-commerce company switching to a fulfillment company is a big leap. It’s important that you choose the right company for you and that you can form a stellar working relationship. After all, finding a fulfillment company that you work well with can supercharge your growth.
How Does a Fulfillment Company Work?
Before we dive in let’s first discuss, what even is “fulfillment?” To us at Ship Central, it means taking the time, money and headache out of getting your product to your customers.
Here’s how it works:
- Receiving – The fulfillment center receives your products/inventory.
- Inventory Storage – Your inventory is organized and stored.
- Order Processing – Orders are received, picked, packed and shipped.
- Shipping – Fulfillment center works with shipping partners (USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.) to ship orders.
- Returns Processing – Any returned orders are received and processed.

We receive goods from thousands of manufacturers from around the world every day. When shipments are received they are entered into our software for easy and accurate inventory management.
Our inventory and shipping management software allows us to integrate with dozens of platforms. Each product is organized and stored so that it’s easy to find when a new order comes in.

Once the order is fully picked it is brought back to a packing station. Each item is verified by scanning the barcode and then packed and shipped.
