A fulfilment network refers to a system of warehouses and distribution centres that work together to store, pack, and ship products to customers. It helps eCommerce businesses deliver orders efficiently across different regions.
How It Works
- Storage: Products are stored in different locations within the network.
- Order Processing: When a customer places an order, the nearest warehouse to the customer gets the order ready.
- Shipping: The order is then shipped from the warehouse directly to the customer.
Benefits

With warehouses in multiple locations, orders can be sent from the closest point to the customer, speeding up delivery.
Lower Shipping Costs
Shipping from a nearby warehouse can reduce transport costs.
Scalability
Businesses can handle more orders and manage inventory across various locations, helping them grow.
