What games brands need from a fulfilment partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As your game brand grows, so do the complexities of fulfilling orders at scale. From launch-day spikes to international shipping and intricate kitting, here are the most common challenges\u2014and why they matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing launch-day and seasonal volume spikes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A big release or holiday promotion can overwhelm traditional fulfilment setups, causing delays and cutting into profits. Game brands need a partner that can help them make the most of drops and launches, and handle demand surges with ease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping omnichannel inventory and orders in sync<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When multiple SKUs are included in various bundles across channels (like Shopify, Amazon, and retail), manual tracking increases the risk of oversells, stockouts, and inaccurate forecasting. Look for a 3PL that offers centralised inventory management with syncing across every sales channel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitting multi-piece game sets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Multi-component game sets and pre-packed starter kits demand accuracy to prevent mispacks and support tickets. Work with a fulfilment partner that has dedicated kitting workflows to help ensure every set is packed accurately and ready for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure packaging for collector-grade items<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Collector-grade miniatures, heavy boards, and custom boxes require packaging that protects their value and shelf appeal. Partner with a fulfilment service that offers reliable packaging options and protective materials tailored to keep products pristine from warehouse to customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving both B2B partners and DTC channels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Complying with EDI retailer routing guides while shipping both B2B and DTC ecommerce orders from the same pool of inventory can be challenging for some brands to manage. Use a fulfilment solution that can maintain a shared pool of inventory and automate routing rule compliance so that every order is shipped as expected to various audiences and customer types while meeting retailer requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob solutions built for game brands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fulfilment for game brands comes with unique challenges\u2014from seasonal surges to delicate pieces, complex bundles, and strict labelling requirements. Here\u2019s how ShipBob helps you overcome them while delighting customers at every turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right-sized and custom packaging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s box selection algorithm chooses the optimal packaging size for every order, and lets you use your own branded boxes. ShipBob uses eco-friendly kraft and Geami paper to protect products during transit while preserving a premium unboxing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible capacity for demand surges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s distributed fulfilment network and smart order routing technology help brands scale alongside your biggest drops, promotions, and seasonal peaks. We stick to our SLAs and never stop receiving inventory during the holidays and have no blackout periods to help ensure your customers’ gifts get delivered fast and even before Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated omnichannel sync<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Direct integrations with dozens of ecommerce platforms and marketplaces help keep inventory and order data updated across Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitting for multi-component sets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you need value-added services, ShipBob can pick and pack multi-piece game sets or starter kits in advance, so each one is ready to ship as soon as a customer places an order. Once approved, ShipBob can follow detailed kitting request instructions to ensure consistency and speed while reducing touchpoints at crunch time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual bundles made simple<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s dashboard makes it easy to map your SKUs and create virtual bundles. When a bundle is ordered, ShipBob\u2019s platform automatically updates inventory by subtracting the correct quantity from each bundled SKU, helping ensure accurate inventory counts across your sales channels and individual SKU unit counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retail dropshipping and distribution EDI expertise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob\u2019s platform supports EDI workflows and compliance for major retailers and helps provide real-time visibility into inventory across channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
