An ecommerce warehouse is far more than merely a facility for storing stock. Home to scores of pickers, packers and increasingly, automated machinery and robots, it serves as the backbone of the order fulfilment process.
The warehouse is where a range of people, fulfilment strategies and critical processes all come together to ensure orders are picked, packed and delivered to the customer as swiftly as possible.
Ecommerce warehouses come in many different forms – from fulfilment and distribution centres to automated warehouses and even, in the case of fledgling businesses, a garage or spare bedroom.
