Order Fulfilment for Startups

All businesses that sell certain products need to deliver them to customers. As a new merchant, you might find processing orders and dispatching items overwhelming, especially as your sales grow. Do not worry; even established eCommerce businesses often need assistance handling fulfilment processes. This is where third-party fulfilment providers like Bezos come in. 

Bezos is a reliable fulfilment company dedicated to ensuring that order fulfilment for small companies is as smooth and fast as possible. Although fulfilling orders in-house might seem like a cheaper option, in reality, you will save money and time by outsourcing fulfilment to a professional.

What is fulfilment for startups?

Order fulfilment for startups begins the moment a customer purchases a product online and encompasses the processes that happen until the buyer receives it. Fulfilment for small companies typically involves several steps, including receiving and processing orders, picking and packing items, shipping parcels and handling returns. 

Startups usually have many things to consider, such as improving their products, advertising and beating the competition in the market. This is why it is understandable that the logistics of startup deliveries might not be your priority. However, paying attention to the effectiveness of fulfilment processes is crucial as it can affect customer satisfaction and your company's reputation.

If you want to ensure that your startup fulfilment is flawless and efficient, speak to an expert and let professionals with the right resources and technology do it for you!

Processing orders 

Whether you sell your products solely on your website or on several marketplaces, we will process all the orders for you. We use AI-driven technology to seamlessly integrate more than 30 sales channels, including Shopify, Amazon, eBay and WooCommerce. This means that whenever someone buys something on any of the websites where your products are listed, the order will automatically be sent to your Bezos Seller Portal. 

‍Storing stock 

So that we can send your items to customers, we need to have your inventory. We have tens of warehouses and fulfilment centres, so you can choose which ones you send your stock to. You can also direct your products to our fulfilment centres straight from the supplier. 

‍Picking and packing

When you receive an order, we will select the correct products from the inventory and pack them in preparation for delivery. Accurate picking and packing are essential to keep customers happy; this is a guarantee with us! 

‍Delivering parcels

We offer a range of delivery options to suit your startup's needs. Do you want to serve international customers? No problem – we have international fulfilment centres for small businesses. Are you working with buyers in the UK? Our extended next-day delivery cut-off time is 9 pm – much later than the 2.30 pm offered by most of our competitors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a fulfilment partner?

As a startup, you might wonder if hiring a third-party fulfilment provider is necessary. While managing order fulfilment alone is technically possible, it is not recommended. There are many steps that fall under the fulfilment process, and mistakes are bound to happen if you attempt to complete all of them on your own. 

By outsourcing your fulfilment to an experienced company, you can make the whole process stress-free and efficient. Your fulfilment partner will handle all fulfilment elements, from order processing, picking and packing to shipping.

What is in-house fulfilment?

In-house fulfilment means a company tackles all aspects of their order fulfilment process within their facilities. This includes receiving and storing inventory, preparing orders and delivering them to customers.

It can seem that approaching fulfilment this way gives businesses greater control over their operations. In reality, however, in-house fulfilment can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. An alternative to in-house fulfilment is working with a 3PL. 

How do warehouses work?

Warehouses store inventory and prepare products to be delivered to customers. When an order is received, warehouse staff need to find the right items, pack them and include the right labels to track the parcel during shipping. 

All businesses need to store their stock somewhere. As a startup, you might not need a large warehouse. Nonetheless, you might have to consider scaling up your storage solutions as your company grows.
