Receiving stock and checking products into inventory.

The first step in the Order Fulfilment process is Goods-inwards. Inbound shipments are received at our Fulfillment warehouse directly from your suppliers. Each shipment is checked, verified and logged into our dedicated cloud-based warehouse management system (WMS).
When you choose PFC as your order fulfilment partner, you'll gain access to our unique WMS – our cloud-based order fulfilment software. This enables you to manage the entire goods in process, from start to finish. As such, you'll benefit from a pay-as-you-use pricing model, real-time stock visibility, with fast and affordable international shipping
ECOMMERCE FULFILMENT PICK FACE
Put Away – When products are checked-in they are given a unique location (Pick face) and placed on a shelf awaiting Order Fulfilment, Kitting, Pick and Pack before being shipped to your customer.
Handling order fulfilment for your customer orders.
When your inventory is stocked at our warehouse, PFC Fulfilment is ready to process your customers' orders. The first step is to automate the ordering process whereby our WMS is connected to your online store and other selling platforms using API technology!
ORDER FULFILMENT
Pick and pack is a critical step in the order fulfilment process.
Firstly, all items in a customer's order are collected (picked) from their unique location, after which, each item is put in appropriate tote, verified and finally packed, ready for shipping to your customer.
Speed and accuracy during this process has a big impact on your customer experience. If orders arrive late, damaged or contain the wrong items, your customers are less likely to recommend or return to buy from you again.
Fortunately, the PFC pick and pack fulfilment service is here to help. Our Software integrates with your online store to automatically receive orders. We then pick, pack and ship 98.5% of orders on the same day, with 99% accuracy.
PFC pick and pack fulfilment service - Verification Station
Our cloud-based warehouse management software (WMS) pulls down your customer orders directly from shopping carts and 3rd party ecommerce platforms. This automated integration occurs seamlessly, meaning that we receive every order soon after it's purchased by your customer. The benefit is that your Orders don't have to wait for you or your staff to receive, review, and forward orders to PFC Fulfilment for pick and pack, kitting and shipping.
Our end-to-end integration is fast, efficient and secure. We can also accept orders via email if required. As a customer you have your own login credentials to our WMS to view your dashboard where you can see inventory, order fulfilment status and customer orders in transit.
Picking products for your customer orders.
Order fulfillment is the process that takes place from receipt of a customer order through to delivery.
The order information is routed to our fulfilment warehouse or via our WMS. A pick sheet is then generated with a unique ID. Each product matching the order pick sheet is then located and confirmed using our Data collection scanners and placed in a tote. A completed tote is then queued for Verification.
The Verification process involves a second operative who scans each product and corresponding order and product bar code(s) to validate that the pick is correct.
Once verified orders are packed and labeled awaiting shipping. Your preferred carrier is chosen and when the driver collects orders at the end of the day an automated email is sent to your customer with tracking code.
Special requirements or instructions such as promotion inserts, gift wrapping or branded packing take place at the packing station.
Our PFC Fulfilment Warehouse Management Software and validation process ensures a very high degree of accuracy so that the correct products arrive with your customers, on time every time.
