Distributed Fulfillment
Distributed fulfillment places your inventory in multiple ShipNetwork facilities and ships each order from the closest in stock location. This shorter distance speeds delivery and lowers cost. Not only do we place your inventory closer to your customers, our proprietary ship method also picks the best route and service to reduce split shipments and keep orders on time.
