Moving Fulfillment Services from the 20th to 21st Century

From SKU2U. http://www.sku2u.com/ or 800-758-2801

Are you looking for someone to outsource some of your business needs? Do you know what Fulfillment is?

Fulfillment isn't anything specific other than fulfilling the needs of your company by outsourcing to another for a lower price. The most common type of fulfillment is packaging and shipping of goods because labor and warehousing space is often a large and costly money-sink. Well, it was the most common. As new trends in marketing and eCommerce begin to spread nationally and outsourcing within the United States becomes more common and accepted as a business practice, fulfillment has begun to stretch outside of the typical pack-and-ship model of yesterday.

Fulfillment is much more than just finding someone to store and ship goods. Having a good fulfillment center in the 21st century means having a company that can perform a broad array of services to meet the fast-paced and (often recently) unstable business environment. For instance, you may need someone to not only ship, but also to sort and organize paperwork. Does your fulfillment center offer this?

Perhaps your company can no longer afford to pay employees to sort through customers' information and send out billing. This is where you should turn to your fulfillment center. Can they help you?

Maybe you want to execute a new marketing plan and need to figure out what demographics you can reach within your budget. For this situation, you should be able to turn to your fulfillment center. As a distribution nexus, shouldn't they be able to know how to distribute?

What about design? Your fulfillment center should be a place where you can ask for high-quality print jobs and document management. Why can't you get quality design as well?

eCommerce! We're nearly a decade in to the new millenium. If your fulfillment center doesn't have a decent web presence and doesn't offer eCommerce solutions for fulfillment, they're probably depserately behind the times.

Well then, what fulfillment center can do all of this?
