Ship to Consumer solution helps a vendor community process orders that do not move through the inventory of the retailer or distributor. Even though you never take inventory, it remains a top priority to still provide your customers with a quality, branded experience. To solve this problem, your vendors provide you with on going inventory updates to prevent customers from ordering products that are out of stock. Once an order is placed, customer support is provided with a constant stream of information concerning order pickup, order shipments, and order tracking. If any order encounters a problem or delay, customer support can be automatically notified to take appropriate and timely action. To assist in delivering a branded experience, customer specific shipping labels (complete with your information) are automatically generated for the vendor. Packing slips, returns, and even special messages, to be included with the shipment, can also be automatically generated for the vendor. All these features, plus traditional electronic exchange of orders, invoices and shipping information help automate and improve the experience of such a complex order management process.
