Customized Fulfillment Solutions
We don’t just supply warehousing. Corrpac works with you to implement a fulfillment strategy tailored to your specific needs.
What is fulfillment warehousing?
Comparing a fulfillment center to a warehouse is like saying that walking is the same as driving a car. They’re both going to get you to your end destination, but one will do it much quicker and more seamlessly than the other. And in e-commerce, we all know that slow and steady doesn’t win the race.
Fulfillment warehousing refers to the storage and distribution of products on behalf of a brand or retailer. In this arrangement, a third-party logistics provider manages a warehouse or fulfillment center and handles the end-to-end fulfillment process. This includes inventory storage, picking and packing, and arranging third party logistics carriers to ship customer orders and provide replenishment to stores.
Corrpac’s Custom Tailored Fulfillment Strategy
There’s no such thing as a one size fits all fulfillment strategy. Every business has unique needs that need to be met in order to provide its customers with the brand experience they expect. This includes what packing boxes are used, whether there is an integration with their chosen e-commerce platforms, or how fast orders need to reach the end customer.
As a reliable fulfillment partner, Corrpac will customize your strategy and fulfillment center layout to suit your business’s goals. Why? Because the right third party logistics partner knows that your success is their success.
Space is tough to come by
Finding a suitable warehouse isn’t a very straightforward task to begin with, as many brands are finding out the hard way. During 2022, warehouse asking rates surged by 22% YOY, while rising construction costs are making it more expensive to overcome the shortage of industrial real estate.
In this climate, it’s the larger, better-resourced businesses that have the economy of scale to take on leases for large warehouses, which often locks out small businesses. If products have special storage requirements, such as climate control or FIFO/LIFO sequencing, this can make the search for warehouse space even more challenging.
Managing long-term leases?
Consider fulfillment
A difficulty of leasing warehouse space independently is that an e-commerce business can get stuck in a fixed-term contract that isn’t favorable to their operational needs. Spikes in growth can happen in e-commerce with little warning, and it’s essential that your storage strategy is able to keep up.
Ease of scaling
If your business experiences a spike in order volumes, this is great news for growth – but only if your current warehouse space is able to handle this increase without compromising speed or accuracy. Corrpac has the solutions and the fulfillment space to cover your welcomed growth and space requirements.
Your ability to scale effectively depends in part on whether you have adequate fulfillment warehousing space to store more inventory ready for picking and packing. If your brand doesn’t have ready access to additional space, labor, and resources to fulfill orders, growth can end up stagnating and customer satisfaction can suffer.
