Types of Order Fulfillment Services for eCommerce

The following discusses the four primary types of order fulfillment, each tailored to distinct business requirements and stages of growth.

In-House Order Fulfillment

In this model, your team manages all aspects of storage and shipping on-site. It suits businesses seeking complete control, from established companies to emerging home-based startups.

Outsourced (or Third-Party) Order Fulfillment

Simplify logistics by partnering with a 3PL company. They handle storage, shipping, and order management. This option is ideal for companies lacking space or labor resources.

Dropshipping

Efficiently manage your retail business through dropshipping. Eliminate inventory concerns by only ordering from a third-party when a sale occurs, who then ships the product. This is excellent for e-commerce and startups aiming to reduce initial investments.

Hybrid Fulfillment

Opt for flexibility with hybrid fulfillment. Blend in-house, outsourced, and dropshipping strategies. Manage customized orders internally while outsourcing or dropshipping other orders. This approach caters well to businesses expanding or dealing with diverse product ranges.
