Fulfillment describes the process of supplying a finished consumer product directly from a manufacturing facility to a distributor or end user without the finished product going back through the company that has created the product. The fulfillment cycle may include receiving customer orders, configuring the products to order, shipping and invoicing products to distribution outlets or end users around the world.

There are literally hundreds of companies offering fulfillment services. When choosing a fulfillment partner, there are several factors to consider. Ideally, the fulfillment service should offer multiple distribution centers to provide scalability, should your business grow nationally or internationally; web-based reporting tools to help you monitor, evaluate and manage sales; warehouse, inventory, and order management solutions to streamline the distribution cycle; and finally customization and service appropriate to the specific needs of your business.
