How does SKU Logistics fit in as a Fulfilment Partner?
Our quick and simple onboarding process includes integration with your e-commerce platform for inventory and order fulfilment.
This stage includes arranging the delivery of your goods to our warehouse. Once delivered, your goods are quality checked and stored in one of our two distribution centres.
After integrating with your e-commerce platform, your SKUs can be delivered to our warehouse. We quality control your goods and pick and pack them in our warehouse. We despatch orders to your customers using our courier partners.
Technology allows us to be fully transparent about your inventory and your customer’s order status. Processing orders promptly is extremely important but being able to deal with returns is equally important.
We have a dedicated space in our distribution centre to receive and process orders for your business. This supports the whole process from arranging return couriers to quality assurance checking upon receipt. This includes both courier and customer parcels.
What makes a good E-commerce Fulfilment Partner?
Putting your business needs first
When enquiring to find the right fulfilment partner for your e-commerce business, it is important to spot specific signs. A partner, which may be a right fit for your business, should be interested in your company and your business goals. They are most likely to ask questions which will put your business first.
Good E-commerce Fulfilment Partners will put your business needs and your customers first.
Efficient customer service
Choosing a fulfilment partner which has an experienced customer services team can make all the difference. They can deal with a range of services such as the processing of mail, telephone and email orders. They are usually on hand as a key contact for end customers dealing with a range of delivery and product queries.
This is even more beneficial when your logistics partner can deal with returns.
Partnered with carriers
A well-connected e-commerce fulfilment partner can be the key to reaching more markets. They can also offer greater deals for your fulfilment solutions and shipping options.
Modern technology in warehouses
It is important to keep inventories up-to-date and know the current stock levels. To do this, your fulfilment partner should have a great warehouse management system.
