Create Endless Aisles with Integrated Drop Ship Functionality

In today’s demand-driven economy, it’s no longer enough to offer just a few product types or brands. As more and more customers look for products online, retailers and e-tailers need to find ways to offer a wider range of products, without increasing their expenses or taking a risk on new product inventory.

Under the drop ship model, retailers provide online “shelf space” for suppliers, who retain the inventory and handle order fulfillment. Because retailers don’t have to pre-pay for inventory, house products in warehouses, or limit their product mix based on brick-and-mortar shelf space, they can offer an endless variety of products to their customers with minimal investment and risk.

TrueCommerce’s advanced Drop Ship capabilities enable retailers to connect orders from their demand channels to their internal systems and to their suppliers for rapid order processing and fulfillment. With integrations for eCommerce, supplier enablement, EDI, order fulfillment and more, you’ll be able to expand your product lines and partnerships quickly, while increasing internal efficiencies.

The feature-rich solution also ensures that you can keep your customers up to date on the status of their orders, and use exception management to isolate and resolve issues and delays to meet customer delivery expectations.
