The Differences Between Warehousing and Fulfillment Centers

In simplest terms, a warehouse is just a storage facility that holds your inventory. Your business may have warehouses set up or may have the need for acquiring this space as you begin to grow and acquire more inventory. Every 3PL company offers an order distribution and fulfillment service center to ecommerce businesses, which does hold inventory like a warehouse, but can do so much more and help your organization in many ways.

3PL solutions will pick your orders and handle them at the fulfillment center. It will take care of handling all parts of this process right from the time the order data gets sent to them, to the moment it gets delivered to the buyer.

Ecommerce Fulfillment Solutions

To get access to the types of distribution and fulfillment services, you will work with a third-party logistics service provider, also known as ecommerce fulfillment warehouse companies. The 3PL has the capabilities to handle part or all of your ecommerce fulfillment process, depending on the services you’re looking for. If you’re happy with parts of your order fulfillment workflow, but would like to outsource the problem areas, then that’s an option too.

In some cases, it makes more sense to have the 3PL provider encompass your entire distribution and fulfillment warehouse operation. By outsourcing to an order fulfillment and distribution service, you can focus on giving your customers a better experience or improve other areas that have led your business to success thus far. Our resources are valuable because when less of your time is spent dealing with areas you are not as familiar with--such as distribution fulfillment services--you can focus more of your resources on your primary business functions.

Retail Fulfillment Solutions

A retail product fulfillment vendor is typically categorized as a third-party logistics company whose services do the hard work for you. The fulfillment warehouse center will include technology, staffing, and infrastructure services in place to support retail order processing. Distribution fulfillment services take on the duties of processing your orders and getting it delivered efficiently and within your specifications.

These operations are done through an order fulfillment center. This distribution fulfillment warehouse center is more than just a warehouse for your inventory because they also include advanced systems for tracking an order as it comes through the location, a variety of packaging materials, and highly skilled staff members whose duties revolve entirely around order fulfillment services. Your inventory management and shipping needs are completely handled, leaving you to focus your efforts on the other operations of your business to make sure your customers are satisfied.

Third Party Logistics Provider

As your order volume begins to scale up, the value that a third party warehousing and logistics company has to offer becomes apparent. When your business does not fully revolve around supply chains and logistics, it can become difficult to put together an infrastructure, such as a fulfillment warehouse, that one needs to adequately support one’s company. As it is clear that customer experience is critical to how you're perceived as a brand, people waiting too long for their shipments can be detrimental to your business. That is a very common error that has also led to companies ultimately failing because they did not properly anticipate the amount of growth they received and did not have the distribution and fulfillment services they needed to successfully deliver.


When you partner with a 3PL, their fulfillment warehouse service will handle part or all of your logistics and supply chain. The big difference between a 3PL and many other types of logistics provider is that a 3PL provider works directly with yourordering system through integration to make sure your needs are met. Typically the workflow is that a customer orders products through your store and those orders then get processed and passed over to the 3PL provider. They handle the rest of the process in their fulfillment warehouse, i.e., pick, pack, and ship the order to the customer. Warehousing, distribution, returns, shipping, and delivery are also all parts of the services that 3PL providers have to offer. Their supply chain and logistics experts focus on that aspect of your business, while you get your focus on the core competencies that established you in the marketplace. Handing these services over to distribution and fulfillment services ultimately allows for growth in your company.
