While owning an e-commerce business eliminates the necessity for a physical retail location, it still necessitates the storage of inventory. And the warehouse is always this location. However, a warehouse only solves half of the problem. Your products must still be shipped. Rather than renting a warehouse to simply store items, put your goods in a fulfillment center that not only stores but also prepares them for distribution.

Features of distribution and fulfillment
In addition to speedy distribution and supply chain facilitation, most fulfillment and distribution companies offer B2B, direct-to-consumer, retail, and marketplace fulfillment services. Some key aspects that distinguish the distribution and fulfillment systems include:
- Integration with your ecommerce platform or shopping cart.
- Increased transparency and flexibility
- Improved order tracking, including confirmation, shipment tracking, and delivery.
- Return management.
- Tracking of shipments.
- Compliance with all industry relevant standards.
- Real-time visibility of all the processes.
- Risk management
- All round integrations of technology solutions
A distribution fulfillment center is very important for resolving backend delays. You can make placing an order on your website really simple, but if delivery takes too long, you risk losing the customer entirely. It gives consumers the impression of poor quality, or worse, internet fraud. Certainly, a fulfillment center's trained team will ensure that this never happens. Indeed, they will wrap all the products well, and also package them securely.
Since warehouse management involves so many variables, little details might be missed. Hence, this may result in unforeseen problems and supply chain bottlenecks. A distribution fulfillment center serves as the hub for all of the logistics procedures necessary to get a seller's product to a customer swiftly and accurately.
