Discover how multi-location fulfillment combined with smart order routing can streamline your e-commerce operations.

Thinking about expanding your business? Multi-location fulfillment is a solution for scaling up your business as your customer orders grow. Incorporating multiple fulfillment centers increases your storage capacity and bridges the gap between products and customers, enhancing the overall shopping experience. However, managing multiple locations can become a logistical nightmare. 

You need to juggle questions like: 

◆ Which fulfillment center has all the items in an order in stock? 

◆ What location is closest to the customer’s shipping address? 

◆ Is there a fulfillment center in the customer’s destination country? 

◆ Can this order be fulfilled from your preferred location? 

With orders pouring in, manually sifting through these criteria isn’t feasible. The last thing you want is for slow fulfillment to negatively impact your business’s growth and reputation. The Solution? Smart Order Routing.  

Benefits of Smart Order Routing 

Smart Order Routing is the key to achieving an efficient order fulfillment process.  It’s a strategy that involves automatically determining the most efficient and cost-effective way to fulfill customer orders, all while considering various factors such as inventory levels, order location, shipping costs, and delivery times. 

Streamlined Scalability:

As your business expands, automation simplifies the fulfillment process by selecting the right locations automatically. This means quicker order fulfillment and less manual intervention. 

Flexible Fulfillment:

Smart order routing gives you the ability to customize order rules according to your business’s unique needs. Whether it’s prioritizing proximity to the customer, favoring warehouses over retail locations, keeping shipments local, or reducing split shipments, you can fine-tune your fulfillment strategy. 

Reduced Shipping Costs:

Implementing smart order routing rules that ensure orders are fulfilled and shipped from the nearest warehouse to the customer can lead to significant reductions in shipping costs. Cost savings can then be passed on to your customers, making your products even more appealing. 

Faster Delivery:

By dispatching products from the closest fulfillment center to your customers, you can drastically cut down transit times. This results in speedier deliveries, ultimately boosting customer satisfaction levels and solidifying your brand’s reputation for prompt service.
