Efficient Catalog Order Fulfillment from Global Docks
How does Global Docks ensure a swift fulfillment process? After you send your goods to our Global Docks warehouse, they are entered into our proprietary warehouse management system (WMS).
Our WMS is linked with an application programming interface (API) to your online store. This way, when someone checks out on your website, their cart is sent to us to ship. By integrating with your shopping cart, we can fulfill orders as soon as possible. During this process, you have consistent live access to track your inventory in real-time.
We also use our high-volume shipping accounts to your advantage to get you the best FedEx, USPS, and UPS postage rates.
