Distributed inventory

ShipBob’s fulfilment centre in the Northeast is part of a network of warehouses that allows ShipBob’s clients to strategically distribute their inventory across the United States.

ShipBob even sends automatic reorder notifications when your inventory runs low. Working with a third-party fulfilment provider can help you manage inventory in an efficient and transparent way, even when it is stored in the fulfilment centre.

ShipBob’s easy-to-use software allows you to track the entire fulfilment process in any of their fulfilment centre in real time.
