JTL Fulfillment Network

from JTL Software

Warehouse & Logistics Outsourcing

Already at the last JTL Connect, JTL announced its JTL Fulfillment Network. For a short time the closed beta phase has been running and soon the public beta phase will start. So it’s time to take a look at what fulfillment is and what benefits it can offer, especially for small online. Where there is a lot of light, there is also shadow, as is well known. And we also want to address the not-so-positive aspects of fulfillment here.

Fulfillment providers in Europe

What is fulfillment?

This refers to the outsourcing of all mail order processes after the customer has purchased the goods. This may then include the following:

  • Order acceptance
  • Warehousing
  • Picking
  • Packing
  • Franking
  • Shipping hand
  • Invoicing
  • Reminder

In addition, the following services can still be offered by the fulfillment provider:

  • Returns management
  • Spare parts supply
  • Repair
  • Disposal of returned goods
  • Customer service

What does the JTL Fulfillment Network offer?

Broadly speaking, the JTL Fulfillment Network is aboutoutsourcing warehouse processes to a fulfillment service provider. The network provides a uniform interface between the fulfillment provider / fulfillment service provider and the online retailer based on the in-house merchandise management system. JTL provides its own portal with API for this purpose, via which online merchants and fulfillment service providers without JTL-Wawi can also connect to this service.

All relevant information is then exchanged between the parties involved via the portal. JTL-Software GmbH thus wants to provide its customers and participants in the JTL Fulfillment Network with a 100% automated delivery process.

These are the JTL Fulfillment Netzwork core features for online merchants and fulfillment service providers:

Functions for online retailers and fulfillment service providers

Seamless integration into Wawi

All processes and tasks can be controlled directly from JTL-Wawi. The service provider’s fulfillment warehouse is automatically created as a new warehouse at the online retailer.

Store goods at the service provider

As soon as the fulfillment service provider’s warehouse is specified as the destination warehouse for supplier orders or stock transfers, all relevant item data is transmitted to the fulfillment service provider. Inventory levels and the status of deliveries can be viewed and tracked at any time via JTL Wawi.

Have orders fulfilled

For the delivery of customer orders, the online retailer only has to select the fulfillment warehouse, which of course can also be fully automated via workflow. All necessary documents are now sent to the fulfillment service provider as attachments. Invoice printing and delivery note printing take place there during the delivery process.

JTL Fulfillment Portal and API

Both parties do not necessarily have to use JTL’s merchandise management for the JTL fulfillment network. Third-party systems can also be connected via the implemented interface.
