What is Outsourced Order Fulfillment
Outsourced order fulfillment is when shipping, storing and order/refund processing is handled by a third-party logistics (3PL). Companies that don't have sufficient storage space or personnel may choose this option. In this case, the 3PL's employees handle the entire fulfillment process from end-to-end, from receiving inventory from manufacturers to delivering orders to the end customer. Inventory is stored in a warehouse controlled by the 3PL, meaning companies that use outsourced fulfillment don't need to invest in their own warehouse facilities.
