Getting Started with Pointbid Fulfilment

Goods in – or receiving – is the very first stage in the order fulfilment process.

This is where we set up your account on our order fulfilment software so that we can integrate with your e-commerce store of choice and make the process as seamless as possible. We also set up your inventory and products before sending them to our fulfilment centre.

Once the stock is received, our team check each and every delivery to make sure everything is undamaged and ready to be stored. We then add all of the necessary barcodes, measurements and images to our software to ensure the most accurate fulfilment moving forward.

Thanks to our use of technology, you will get access to our software portal, which will give you the necessary insight into how your goods are being handled throughout the process.

Our attention to detail and care means we offer the most accurate pick and pack and stock control possible throughout the whole process. This also helps us keep costs low for you, as we house your goods effectively based on their measurements, weight and how quickly the stock will be sold.

Head Of Logistics
CharBroil – America’s Oldest Grill Brand

“Pointbid Logistics have been a real positive impact to our business, since we decided to outsource the bulk of our order fulfilment. Having experienced rapid sales growth, and the forecast for this to continue, we found it difficult to find premises that would be future-proof yet economical in the shorter term. By outsourcing warehousing and fulfilment to Pointbid we can shrink and grow our inventory as the seasons and demand dictate.
