When a smaller business may consider outsourcing
There is no single order volume at which every business should move to a 3PL. The decision can depend on inventory space, complexity, inbound stock, seasonal peaks and how much owner or staff time is being consumed by packing orders.
How this fits into an ecommerce fulfilment workflow
For most ecommerce brands, fulfilment starts before the customer places an order. Inventory first needs to arrive at the warehouse, be identified correctly and be allocated to suitable storage. When an order is received, the required products are picked, checked, packed and prepared for dispatch.
The exact workflow depends on SKU count, product size, inbound format, average units per order, monthly volume and any special packing or kitting requirements.

Planning your fulfilment setup
