Process of Order-Fulfillment
Receiving
The first step in the 3PL process is to receive inventory at the warehouse after manufacturing. Receiving refers to receiving and storing warehousing inventory in the operation center. Once the warehouse receives inventory, it is ready to go into storage.
Picking
The fulfillment part of the 3PL begins when a customer places an order. If your CMS is through Shopify or WooCommerce, the app ensures that orders are automatically routed to the warehouse for picking, ensuring a seamless, automated process.
Packing
Once all the items in the order have been picked, it’s time to pack them safely. Your 3PL will select packaging materials that both protect your product and achieve the lowest actual volumetric weight.
Also, some 3PLs allow you to store your own custom packaging. For example, PFC allows custom packaging, branding, and inserts for your products.
Shipping
The next step is to ship your order to your customers, whether by land, air, or sea.
One of the great benefits of outsourcing fulfillment is that after the order ships, you receive order tracking information. Depending on 3PL’s technology, you can share this information with your clients automatically or manually.
