Fulfilment
Also known as: Fulfillment, Order fulfilment
Fulfilment is the process of receiving, processing, picking, packing and delivering an order to the buyer after it has been placed.
Fulfilment turns an order into delivered goods. It covers inventory storage, order picking and packing, dispatch and last-mile delivery. Reliable fulfilment is what buyers ultimately experience — accurate, on-time delivery is more important to them than the elegance of the ordering system.
Who controls fulfilment matters. A marketplace that owns its warehouses and delivery fleet, as Lapasar does across Peninsular Malaysia, can be directly accountable for delivery accuracy and timing, rather than depending on many third parties. This is the difference between a platform that simply lists suppliers and one that stands behind the delivery.
