My buddy and I were talking the other day about the fulfillment process (he owns a fulfillment company) the timeline, dealing with the reps, increasing cost of freight….collecting from retailers…..what a pain.
What exactly is “Fulfillment” anyway?
In a nutshell it's the back end part of Product Development. The actual manufacturing, sales, and distribution of a product. In most fulfillment companies you can select from a group of services including:
Coordination of manufacturing
Financing between the factory and the retailer
Freight movements
Retailer distribution
Product Sell in
Rep management
Reporting and accounting
