 Women can no longer be considered the weaker sex, especially in the world of commerce. In fact, in the past years, we have seen many success stories of women making it big in the field of e-commerce. This shows, that when it comes down to a ‘do or die’ situation, women step up and excel.

Women have the determination and grit required to make a mark in the world of masculine power. With the power of the internet by their side, we have seen many feminine business success stories make the front page of newspapers. These success stories remind us that we should not ever undermine the strength of a woman.
According to some of these successful women, all they had when they started off was a business idea. Many of these women had to start an online business to support their family. One such woman, a former ‘stay-at-home’ parent, started a business when her husband lost his job. She realised that with small savings as the only anchor to hold on to, stabilising financial conditions was impossible.

Here’s how she rose to the challenge: 

She first developed on her product idea. She knew she had to develop a product that would be useful not only to shops and big businesses but also the common people. Once her product was developed, she registered the business and opened a separate bank account. She then spent time strategising, contacting manufacturers and vendors, arranging for logistics and creating a branding strategy. After months of hard work, she succeeded in popularising her product on the internet and reaching out to the masses. Whatever money she had invested in making the business stand was earned back.

However, this online business would not stand a chance if she hadn’t arranged for a good distribution fulfilment service. She had to make sure that her product was reaching her customers at the right time and undamaged. 

Her business has now spread across the country and her clientele has increased massively. A few decades back, the “man’s world” would never have imagined a ‘stay-at-home mum’ to start a business and succeed in it. The ‘masculine world’ would never have imagined how a woman could help her husband recover from unemployment and stabilise the financial conditions of her household. This success story stands as evidence of the fact that women should never be thought of as anything less than a man; they too can be achievers and change the face of the business world.

Have More Satisfied Customers with the Right Fulfillment Store


The key to success for any business is to keep the customers happy. But it is not feasible to sacrifice profit in an attempt to do so and thus the need to hire the services of a fulfillment company. While they manage the packaging and the delivery of the goods, you are left free to utilise your resources for the improvement of the products that your company provides.

 There are a number of fulfillment companies that have been functioning for a long time. But the traditional fulfillment companies that were mainly warehousing companies hardly meet the requirements of the present day businesses. In order to find the right kind of fulfillment company for your business, there are a few considerations to keep in mind.

  •  What kind of technology is used to manage your order fulfillment? 
  •  Does the company allow you to check, approve and/ or disapprove your order?
  •  Is it system used by them cloud-based?
  •  Do they let you know about low-inventory so you can fill them up ahead of time? • How good is their customer service? 
  • What is their replacement policy in case they ship out the wrong package or if the goods are damaged during transit? 
These are some of the central questions that have to be asked in order to make sure that the company you are hiring is compatible with the current mode of eCommerce prevalent these days. Simple warehousing is not enough anymore. Keep your specific requirements in mind while selecting a fulfillment partner.

 The fulfillment store that you choose would also depend on your requirement. The questions mentioned above are more of a blanket set of question that can be applied to generally any kind of business trying to focus on the eCommerce. But in order to get 100% satisfaction from fulfillment store you have to make sure that you are choosing the right kind of fulfillment company that has enough experience in that specific field. For example, if you are into glassware business then the packaging and the delivery of the goods must be handled with extreme care and by a company that has experience in the job.

It needs an experienced fulfillment company to make all the difference between satisfied and irate customers.

Pack Your Product Carefully To Prevent Any Damage on It

We love everything about online shopping and why should not that be the case considering online shopping is so easy and convenient? All you need to do is click on whatever product you love, pay for it and your work is done. Yes, it is that simple. Ask why? Because now it is the work of the fulfilment companies to take care of your product and ensure that it reaches your doorstep within the allotted time.

Ever wondered how a fulfilment company works? The store gets in touch with a fulfilment company and rests upon them the responsibility of the delivery of the product. Now it becomes the task of the fulfilment company to not just ensure customer satisfaction by taking care of the product and also delivering the product but also to maintain a good relationship with the client to get the business from them.

So, let us find out the kind of work that a fulfilment company takes care of to make sure the product reaches your doorstep just in time. Let’s see what they are:

  • The products are all neatly stored up in the warehouse. It is the job of the people working in the fulfilment company to carefully select the product in order to deliver the product to the customer.
  • It is part of the fulfilment company to take care of the logistics of the store. The logistics of the store are maintained with the help of a logistics guide. Hence, it is important for people to regularly maintain the logistics of the company.
  • Then comes the crucial task of the pick and pack services. The fulfilment company picks the goods from the manufacturing units and then packs it neatly in order to make sure that the goods are not damaged on transit. 

These are some of the duties that the fulfilment companies take care of so that the customers can shop from their home without worrying about the delivery of the goods.
