England Fulfilment Centre

Distribute your inventory for more efficient shipping

With ShipBob, you can split inventory across multiple fulfilment centres across the globe. You can choose the ShipBob fulfilment centres that are closest to your customer base and bulk-ship your inventory to them. From there, picking lists are generated automatically when an order is placed, and our professionals pick, pack and ship the order.

Distributing inventory across a global fulfilment network lowers the barrier of entry to shipping internationally. If your business is based in the US and you want to ship to England, you just ship your inventory to our Manchester fulfilment centre or Birmingham fulfilment centre, and we distribute it from there: no need for each customer order to cross the Atlantic and pass through customs.

ShipBob’s platform also comes with built-in inventory and order management software that makes managing the fulfilment process easy. From the ShipBob dashboard, you can search for orders, track packages, view inventory counts, add SKUs, and set reorder points so you never run out of product. We handle the ins and outs of fulfilment so you can focus on growing your business. 

Distributed inventory

With ShipBob’s network of fulfilment centres, you can strategically split your inventory across our locations to get your products from point A to point B more quickly and affordably. Storing inventory near your customers helps reduce the shipping zones and costs associated with shipping orders to faraway destinations.

Distributed inventory also helps you stay competitive by offering fast shipping to your customers. When an order is placed, ShipBob’s algorithm automatically selects the warehouse and courier that will give you the quickest turnaround at the best price. This strategy has helped our merchants bring 13% savings to their bottom line.

Order management

At ShipBob, we track your orders from A to Z. Filter orders by status, search for specific orders, see a quick timeline view of where your order is in the fulfilment process (e.g. when an order is picked, packed, or shipped), easily find shipping-related information (e.g., weights, dimensions, or courier service), and get a quick snapshot of any orders that require action.

With order management software for your direct-to-consumer and wholesale shipments, you can manage subscriptions, make changes to your orders post-purchase, map your store’s shipping options to ShipBob, and automatically share tracking information with your customers.

Reporting and analytics

To provide you with visibility into our operations and performance, and also hold ourselves accountable, ShipBob’s free analytics tool is packed with charts to help you with everything from year-end reporting, to better supply chain decision-making.

Data can be a competitive advantage, and our reports show an analysis of which fulfilment centres you should stock, days of inventory left before you run out, impact of promotions on stock levels, each shipping method’s average cart value, shipping cost, and days in transit, your fulfilment cost per order, storage cost per unit, and much more.
