Efulilment is another term for ecommerce logistics and is the combination of processes, technologies and organisations to deliver an order placed online to the customer. This includes the website that takes the order, the systems that interface with payment providers, 3PLs and carriers, the warehouse that processes the order, the transport company that delivers the product and more. There is a relatively new and specific type of 3PL (third-party logistics provider) that has gained significant traction recently by focusing entirely on supporting customers in the ecommerce space in the form of efuflilment specialists. They have streamlined and standardised the process of fulfilment to support rapid customer onboarding via flexible warehouse management systems operating standard integrations to customer systems. Multiple customers are housed in shared-user facilities to reduce operational overheads and drive cost reductions.
