Speed and cost-efficiency are everything in ecommerce. Customers expect fast, affordable shipping, but storing inventory in one location often leads to higher shipping fees and longer delivery times. That’s why more sellers rely on 3PLs like Southeast Fulfillment to distribute inventory across multiple warehouses.
This is where distributed inventory comes in. Instead of keeping all stock in one warehouse, sellers can spread their products across multiple fulfillment centers. When a customer places an order, it’s automatically shipped from the warehouse closest to their location. The result is faster deliveries, lower shipping costs, and happier customers.
For Amazon and Walmart sellers, the benefits are clear. Distributed inventory helps reduce zone-based shipping costs, improves delivery speed, and boosts seller performance metrics through reliable on-time shipping. Faster fulfillment also leads to better reviews and repeat customers—both crucial for long-term success.
