Inventory at your fulfillment house

When choosing a fulfillment service everything from quality of service to warehouse storage space could be considered. Some companies choose to work with the best services such as DHL, UPS, or FedEx. Other companies go a step further and commission their own custom delivery service. If you didn’t decide on the more reliable fulfillment company, you get the limited opportunity to play the always exciting waiting game while anticipating the arrival of your fulfillment products, if they arrive.

The inventory aspect of order fulfillment services goes hand in hand with warehousing because it keeps track of what promotional products you have, how much, conveniently for the warehousing staff, where the product is located. Without a proper inventory management system, you never know what you’re going to get. You could have all 100 of those wine glasses that you need by tomorrow or you can have 100 pieces of the wine glasses. Wal-Mart does have a year-round sale on super glue and gorilla grease, fun times all around. If this kind of fun is simply too much for your frail heart, you can always consider more reliable and predictable fulfillment companies to outsource to.

Fulfillment gets less complicated when good communications skills are observed on both ends of the fulfillment spectrum. Lack of communication only complicates things and makes the process even more tedious. To keep up the communication, other companies typically set up client profiles that immediately post changes, updates, and orders.
