Shoper introduces fulfillment services

Shoper Provides e-businesses with a fulfillment service. OEX E-Business and Omnipack solutions will help reduce warehouse costs. This is especially important for growing companies that need more warehouse space from month to month, while maintaining high quality order processing.

The rapid growth of your own e-business is good news and at the same time... a challenge. More sales mean higher costs and the need to expand the warehouse. For dynamic organizations, the so-called fulfillment can be a good solution. It's a service that allows a flexible approach to warehouse space, as well as ceding the packing and shipping of packages to an external operator. According to JLL's "Warehouse Market in Poland," the demand for warehouse space in 2018 is still unmet.

The direction of standards is currently set by Amazon, which offers free and within two days shipping. This is the result of more than 250 warehouse centers. It is difficult for most e-commerce stores to approach such efficiency due to high costs. The solution may be fulfillment, which takes off a large financial burden and replaces it with an approach that is flexible in terms of cost while guaranteeing quality delivery service , says Artur Halik, Head of Shoper Premium.

How fulfillment works

In fulfillment, goods are shipped directly to the logistics provider, and stored at its centers. Other activities are also carried out by the service provider - picking, packing and shipping products, and often providing sales documents. Other services depend on the offer of the specific operator.

Implementation of fulfillment will be possible through Shoper AppStore, through the service configurator. The application will allow you to specify the scope of the service in a few steps. Depending on the level of complexity - including the type of goods, the size of packages, the method of packaging, the need for labels - the value of the service will be priced. This approach has reduced implementation costs. Until recently, oustourcing logistics processes due to the financial outlay was available only to large companies. However, the development of e-commerce has led to the emergence of services tailored to the capabilities and specifics of e-commerce, which will also benefit smaller but rapidly growing companies.

To be able to offer a service of the highest quality, Shoper has partnered with OEX E-Business and Omnipack. OEX E-Business is an OEX Group company with more than 15 years of experience in logistics services for the e-commerce sector and loyalty programs and POS activities. It also offers services in the area of e-procurement and e-delivery. It manages modern logistics centers of 44,000 sq m and a warehouse in Łubna near Warsaw.

Omnipack is a logistics operator providing dedicated services to medium and small e-commerce entities. It offers warehousing, order picking, packaging, shipping and returns handling - all in a fully integrated IT environment.
