As you grow in e-commerce, you will sooner or later reach logistical limits. Orders are increasing, storage space is becoming scarce and shipping processes tie up valuable time and personnel. It is precisely at this point that many online retailers ask themselves the decisive question: How much do JTL fulfillment solutions cost and is outsourcing logistics really worthwhile?
JTL Fulfillment means that you outsource all your logistics, from order processing to warehouse processes to shipping — to a specialized fulfillment service provider. The connection is made directly via your JTL-Wawi, which eliminates the need for manual intermediate steps.

Storage costs depend on the space required. Billing is carried out depending on Fulfillment partners For example, per pallet space, shelf space or cubic meter of storage space. Product size, storage period and the respective warehouse location are decisive.
When goods are received, there are costs for receiving, checking and storing the goods. Internal transfers or reconciliation with item data in JTL-Wawi can also be part of billing. These services ensure that your inventory remains accurate and up to date at all times.
There are costs for picking for every order. These include pick & pack, the manual or automated assembly of articles, packaging material and workflow-controlled processing via JTL-WMS. Depending on the order structure, the number of picks and the complexity of the orders have an impact on costs.
The shipping costs depend on the shipping volume, package weight, the shipping service providers used and the destination area. Many fulfillment service providers can offer attractive conditions due to high shipping volumes, from which you benefit directly.
The processing of returns also entails costs, as every return must be checked, documented and, if necessary, re-stored or processed. The complete return process is documented directly in JTL-Wawi.
