Omnichannel Fulfillment Services

Omnichannel fulfillment services ship your online, marketplace, wholesale and retail orders from one pool of inventory. Cura Resource Group stores your stock, picks each order the way its channel requires, and ships it, from a single parcel to a customer’s door to a full pallet for a retail store.

As an omnichannel 3PL, we run both sides from the same building. Your direct-to-consumer (DTC) orders and your B2B orders draw on one stock count, so you never hold separate inventory for each channel.

Omnichannel Fulfillment at a Glance

Our omnichannel fulfillment ships every channel’s orders from one inventory, at three warehouses.

  • Warehouses: Memphis, Tennessee, Riverside, California and Carolina, Puerto Rico.
  • Channels: your online store, marketplaces, wholesale accounts and retail stores.
  • B2C orders: single parcels, packed to your specification.
  • B2B orders: cases and pallets, built to each retailer’s routing guide.
  • Inventory: one count across every channel, visible to you in real time.
  • Returns: processed back into the same inventory.

What Do Our Omnichannel Fulfillment Services Include?

Our omnichannel fulfillment services cover six jobs: shared inventory, DTC orders, marketplace orders, B2B and retail orders, packaging, and returns. Each one runs on the same stock and the same team.

One shared inventory

One stock count for every channel

Memphis, TN · Riverside, CA · Carolina, PR

DTC and ecommerce

Single parcels to customers’ doors

Marketplaces

FBA prep to each marketplace’s rules

B2B and retail

Cases and pallets built to retailer routing guides

Returns

Inspected and put back into the same stock

Every channel draws on one stock count, and returns go back into it.

One Inventory Across Every Channel

We keep one count of your stock for every channel you sell on. An order from your website and a pallet for a retailer draw from the same shelves, and our inventory control keeps that count accurate.

DTC and Ecommerce Orders

We pick, pack and ship single orders to your customers as they come in. Our ecommerce fulfillment service covers the parcel side in full.

Marketplace Orders

We prepare and ship stock into marketplace fulfillment centers to each marketplace’s labeling and packaging rules. Our FBA prep service handles that work from the same inventory as your other channels.

B2B and Retail Orders

We ship cases and pallets to stores, distributors and business buyers, built to each retailer’s routing guide. A routing guide sets the labels, carriers and delivery windows a retailer requires, and missing it brings a chargeback, a fine deducted from your invoice. Our retail distribution services cover that compliance work.

Kitting and Custom Packaging

We build kits, bundles and branded packaging so each channel gets the product the way it sells there. See kitting and assembly and custom packaging.

Returns From Every Channel

We receive returns from customers and retailers, inspect them and put sellable stock back into the same inventory. Our returns management service covers the process.

B2B vs B2C Fulfillment: What Changes by Channel?

B2B and B2C fulfillment differ in order size, packaging, labeling and delivery. The table shows the main differences an omnichannel 3PL has to handle on the same day.

B2C (consumer) ordersB2B (business and retail) orders
Order sizeOne to a few itemsCases or full pallets
PackagingBranded box or mailerCartons and pallets built to the buyer’s rules
LabelsCarrier parcel labelRetailer labels set by the routing guide
ShippingParcel carriersLTL or FTL, often with a delivery appointment
TimingShips as each order arrivesShips to the retailer’s delivery window

Running both from one building means stock does not need to move between a parcel warehouse and a distribution center.

How Do We Set Up Omnichannel Fulfillment?

Setting up omnichannel fulfillment with us takes four steps: quote, connect, receive and ship.

Step 1: Quote

Tell us your channels, order volumes and the retailers you ship to. We quote to your actual order mix.

Step 2: Connect Your Channels

We connect to the sales channels and systems you already use, so orders reach the warehouse from every place you sell.

Step 3: Receive Your Stock

Your stock arrives, we count it against your paperwork and put it away into one inventory for all channels.

Step 4: Ship

Orders come in from each channel, we pick and pack them to that channel’s rules, and they leave the building.

Where Do We Fulfill Omnichannel Orders?

We fulfill omnichannel orders from our warehouses in Memphis, Tennessee, Riverside, California and Carolina, Puerto Rico. Each suits a different set of customers.

Is an Omnichannel 3PL Right for You?

An omnichannel 3PL is right for you when you sell through more than one channel and want a single partner and a single stock count. It fits best when:

  • You sell online and also ship to retailers, wholesalers or distributors.
  • You sell on marketplaces as well as your own store.
  • Retail chargebacks are eating into your margin.
  • You hold separate stock for each channel and keep running out in one while another sits full.

If you sell through one online channel only, standard ecommerce fulfillment is usually the simpler fit. For a fuller explanation of how omnichannel works, read our guide to omnichannel fulfillment.

What Do Omnichannel Fulfillment Services Cost?

Omnichannel fulfillment cost depends on your order mix, so every account is quoted to its own channels and volumes. A quote usually covers these fee lines:

  • Receiving: counting and putting away inbound stock.
  • Storage: the space your inventory uses.
  • Pick and pack: the work on each order, which differs between a parcel and a pallet.
  • Packaging and labels: boxes, retailer labels and any kitting.
  • Shipping: parcel, LTL or FTL to each destination.

Send us your channels and volumes and we will quote omnichannel fulfillment to your order mix.

Why Use Cura Resource Group for Omnichannel Fulfillment?

Brands use Cura Resource Group for omnichannel fulfillment because consumer orders, marketplace stock and retail pallets run through one team and one inventory. We have run third-party logistics since 2008.

When a retailer order and a website order arrive on the same day, the same team picks both from the same shelves. That is the difference between an omnichannel 3PL and a parcel warehouse that also takes the occasional pallet.

Omnichannel Fulfillment Services FAQ

What are omnichannel fulfillment services?

Omnichannel fulfillment services store your inventory and ship orders from every sales channel out of one stock pool. That covers online orders to consumers, marketplace stock, and case or pallet orders to retailers and distributors.

What is the difference between omnichannel and multichannel fulfillment?

Multichannel fulfillment ships orders from several channels, often from separate stock for each one. Omnichannel fulfillment runs every channel from one shared inventory, so stock can serve whichever channel sells it first.

Can B2B and DTC orders ship from the same inventory?

Yes. We pick your consumer parcels and your retail pallets from the same stock count in the same building, so you do not need separate inventory for each channel.

Do you handle retailer routing guides and chargebacks?

Yes. We build B2B orders to each retailer’s routing guide, including labels, carriers and delivery appointments, to avoid the chargebacks that follow a missed requirement.

Do you handle marketplace orders?

Yes. We prepare and ship stock into marketplace fulfillment centers through our FBA prep service, from the same inventory as your other channels.

Which sales channels do you connect to?

We connect to the sales channels and systems you already use. Tell us where you sell when you ask for a quote and we will confirm how your orders reach the warehouse.

How much do omnichannel fulfillment services cost?

Cost depends on your order mix. Quotes usually cover receiving, storage, pick and pack, packaging and shipping, and the per-order work differs between a parcel and a pallet.

How do I get a quote?

Send us your sales channels, monthly order volumes and the retailers you ship to through our quote form. We quote to your actual order mix.
