How does Order Fulfillment Work?

Here are the steps to smooth third party order fulfillment.

Your products are shipped to your Third Party(3PL) warehouse.
Next, your store’s inventory is synced with the inventory at your third-party fulfillment partner.
Your customer then places and pays for their order and comes through as a sales order that gets sent to Florida Warehousing, LLC.
We then take that order where it’s input into our tracking system to determine quantities on hand to “fulfill” the placed order.
We would then Pick, Quality Check, Pack and prepare for shipment, the products.
The next step will update the inventory management system by decrementing the sales order from the on-hand quantity.
The last step would be to advise of the shipping method, prepare the shipping label document and provide packing and tracking information to our customers who can pass along to the end customer.

The fulfillment provider you choose to represent your company is going to reflect on your business’s image. Unfortunately, that reflection isn’t always positive. The product ships late or the wrong order was sent out? Your company is responsible and it reflects badly on your company. These simple mistakes grow and feed the image that your company has a poor reputation with order fulfillment and hurts your company in the long run. At the other end of the spectrum, a good fulfillment provider will improve your business’s image through quality customer care, reliable service, and product accountability.
