Pro FS’ Fulfilment Process
Modern Third Party Logistics Process
Pro FS’ Fulfilment Process
Online retailing is a competitive environment. At Pro FS, we believe that our clients would prefer to focus on being successful retailers rather than logistics experts. This makes sense, as the skill sets and requirements of the two activities are very different. Owners of online shops have more than enough to think about without having to worry about packing and shipping orders to customers. With processes and technology that have been refined over 20 years, we believe that we are the perfect fit for your business.
Our team and our Pro FS Robots assist you with your e-fulfilment in six easy steps!
Goods-in
All incoming goods are unloaded, either as cartons or pallets.
The delivery is then inspected and sorted ready for inbound. It will occupy a dedicated receipt lane until recorded in our warehouse management system and located in storage. We will work with you to ensure that your suppliers present your stock in the most efficient fashion for this process to be as cost effective as possible.
Inventory Management
At Pro FS we utilise a Geek+ Robotics System offering high-density storage that lessens the risk of dust contamination and theft.
As totes within the system become low on stock, we can trigger a rapid check to ensure continuous stock integrity. This is a very efficient way of delivering rolling stock counts.
Order Picking
As orders arrive in our WMS, they are batched to ensure greatest picking efficiency. The orders are then sent automatically to the Geek+ Robotics System, and the process of bringing the stock to the pickers begins. Not only is this more efficient, but it also ensures that the risk of errors is kept to a minimum.
Order Packing
Orders at the Pro FS warehouse are packed manually. Ability to scan each product again at this stage helps minimize errors.
After years of research and careful evaluation, we believe that fully automated packing lines could pose a single point of failure. That’s why we chose to entrust our dedicated team delivering on-time dispatch every day.
Shipping
We work with wide range of shipping partners. Whilst we do have suppliers who we might recommend, we always allow the ultimate choice of carrier to sit with you. Your options will vary in cost, tracking visibility and speed of delivery. Unlike some of our competitors, who are owned by postal businesses, we empower you, our client, to decide who carries your orders.
Returns
Returned goods are examined and either prepared for resale and returned to stock within the Geek+ Robotics system or placed into quarantine. We offer a range of return carrier options, which can be discussed and chosen to suit you and your customers’ needs.
