Fulfilment is everything that happens between an order coming in and the product arriving with your customer. Storage, picking, packing, labelling and shipping all sit under that one word. For beverage and FMCG brands, getting it right is the difference between fast, reliable delivery and a warehouse full of headaches.
The steps of fulfilment
- Receiving. Your stock arrives and is checked in and stored, ideally in a secure, well organised warehouse.
- Picking. When an order comes in, the right products are selected from stock.
- Packing. Items are packed safely, with the right labels and paperwork.
- Shipping. The order is handed to transport for delivery across the country or across Europe.
Why beverages and FMCG need a specialist
Drinks are heavy, breakable and often subject to excise rules. FMCG moves fast and in high volumes. A general fulfilment centre can struggle with both. A specialist that understands bonded and excise storage, batch tracking and temperature-sensitive goods keeps your supply chain smooth and compliant.
What to look for in a fulfilment partner
- Secure warehousing with real-time inventory visibility.
- Bonded and excise storage if you handle beverages.
- Value added services such as co-packing, labelling and bundling.
- Its own transport network so your orders do not wait for a third party.
