Order Fulfillment Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

Labor, inventory storage costs, transportation, maintenance, conveyor and sortation equipment, and others are some of the cost components incurred in providing services. Other costs include utilities, insurance, and legal costs. The cost varies depending on the size and weight of the product, and the urgency and distance of delivering the product. Labor, inventory storage, and transportation costs are some of the major cost components. Due to the restricted space in warehouses, service providers charge for each square foot that the goods occupy. The larger the product, the more consumers will have to pay. The picking and packing fee can range from around USD 3 to USD 5 per item.

The category is fragmented in nature with the presence of numerous players providing services to businesses from small scale to large scale. Large companies such as Amazon and FedEx have a separate fulfillment division such as FBA by Amazon and FedEx fulfilment due to the significant growth in e-commerce. According to Walker Sands' 2023 report, as Amazon has gained a dominant position as the distributor of choice, effective order fulfillment has become increasingly crucial. Only 15% of the customers believed that most online retailers fulfil their delivery needs while 30% of consumers believe that Amazon already does. Specialized fulfillment companies are increasing their investments in creating an integrated platform that has multiple integrations such as, Shopify, EBay, Oracle NetSuite, or TikTok Shop. Suppliers are also shifting their focus from single-channel to omni-channel fulfillment which automates, simplifies, and speeds up fulfillment activities. Buyers of the services such as retailers and industrial distributors have moderate bargaining power as they can choose from multiple service providers.
