The Process

Overview
Order Fulfillment Definition

Order fulfillment encompasses a broad process that includes inventory management, picking, pulling, packing and shipping product to the customers. There may even be a few subtasks involved among those mentioned tasks.

Nextgen Transportation Connections can handle all those tasks listed above and much more. From the simplest to the most complicated orders, we are here to serve you and your customers and make sure your experience is a pleasant one and leads to a long-term, mutually rewarding experience for everyone involved.

Every order we receive is evaluated to determine the best way to process and fulfill. We factor in whether it is being shipped domestically or internationally, or if it contains any hazardous materials or fragile items before making any determination.

As soon as a tracking number is generated by the carrier for a given order, both you and your customer will be able to check the status of the delivery in real-time.

Among other perks, you will enjoy specially negotiated, discounted rates at major carriers like: UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, and OnTrack when you partner with Nextgen Transportation Connections. These special rates are otherwise not available to general population.

We have a state-of-the-art order fulfillment system that automatically determines the carrier and shipping method that is most cost-effective. Every order will go through this same system.

How Important is Order Fulfillment?

At the end of the day, speed rules in order fulfillment world. The sooner customers receive their order, the happier they will be and the better chance you will have to land a repeat sell.

Brick and mortar stores have one advantage over online retailers. They can hand products immediately to the customers. Online retailer must provide the next best thing – the fastest delivery possible while offering substantial savings in pricing.

By partnering with Nextgen Transportation Connections, even small mom-and-pop businesses can compete with the retail giants. You can provide your customers with the same shopping experiences as the big-name retailers.

Fulfilling a customer order can be deceiving. There is so much more involved rather than just simply grabbing the item, packaging it up, and shipping it out.

Establishing a facility, pay for infrastructure, setup, maintenance, other overheads, hire and train a workforce, retain staff, insurance, legal obligation and other associated fees will overwhelm most startups. More often than not, these costs add up so much that a new startup is cost prohibitive for most people.

Worried? Forget about it. We have you covered. We have everything you need to run an efficient order fulfillment center – at a fraction of the cost. We are professionals at this field. By partnering with us you get fully-staffed facilities, the latest equipment, tools and software, and experience all for one low, affordable price.
