What is DTC Fulfillment?
Direct to consumer (DTC) fulfillment is a streamlined logistics process where products are shipped directly from a manufacturer or fulfillment center to the end consumer, bypassing traditional retail channels. Unlike traditional fulfillment models that involve stocking inventory in retail stores or warehouses, DTC fulfillment focuses on fulfilling orders directly to individual customers, often leveraging e-commerce platforms for sales. B&C Logistics’ DTC fulfillment services include efficient order processing, real-time inventory management, accurate pick, pack, and ship procedures, and seamless integration with various e-commerce platforms.

Why Do You Need a D2C Partner?
. . .
A business can benefit from a direct-to-consumer (D2C) partner for several reasons. A D2C partner brings specialized expertise in managing online sales, marketing, and customer engagement, enabling the business to optimize its D2C operations effectively. This expertise allows the company to focus on its core competencies. So, while you work to source or internally develop products for your customer base, you can entrust the critical aspect of direct-to-consumer sales to a capable partner.
In addition, partnering with a D2C specialist means the business can avoid the hassle of managing staff levels that might change with demand. Instead, they can rely on the partner’s expertise and resources to handle D2C operations efficiently. This is particularly useful in the e-commerce world,
where demand can fluctuate dramatically due to factors like viral ad campaigns or the hectic holiday season.
Furthermore, B&C’s existing infrastructure and resources can handle the complexities of order fulfillment, inventory management, and logistics, ensuring efficient and timely deliveries to customers. This not only enhances customer satisfaction but also frees the business from the logistical challenges that come with managing fulfillment in-house.
By collaborating with a D2C partner, businesses can streamline their operations, avoid resource constraints, and capitalize on their partner’s experience to enhance customer satisfaction, increase revenue, and establish a stronger brand presence in the online marketplace.
“I performed a review of rate shopping for Q4-24 and saw that we saved $3-4K through the quarter. When we moved from CA to IL (their previous warehouse was based in California), we saved $7K in Q3-23 from the zone improvement.”
