Furthermore, only 16.08% of all companies surveyed were extremely satisfied with their fulfillment process, be it in-house or outsourced. “The number of satisfied and extremely satisfied companies is quite interesting, as it shows just how infrequently businesses are either operating on all cylinders internally or thoroughly happy with their third party suppliers. Ultimately, it shows how much improvement is necessary on both sides of the coin within the industry,” noted Will Schneider, President of FulfillmentCompanies.net.

While shipping and order accuracy were somewhat significant challenges, other areas of the process captured the attention of the survey respondents, including the amount of time that it takes to manage the process. “All in all, the results seem to indicate that there’s significant room for improvement of both in-house and outsourced fulfillment operations,” End
