Fashion is a fast-moving industry with a short product lifecycle and volatile trends. Online apparel businesses must be flexible, responsive, and fast to constantly stake their claim in the industry and develop and maintain a loyal customer base. To gain a competitive edge, partnering with the right apparel fulfillment service is crucial. Encore Fulfillment’s apparel fulfillment services provide efficient storage, pick and pack services, shipping, and comprehensive inventory management. We manage your logistics and inventory so that you can focus on design, manufacturing, marketing, and customer service without any delays.
What is Apparel Fulfillment?
Apparel fulfillment is the process of preparing and shipping orders placed with your clothing business. Issues like inventory mismanagement and delivery delays can result in customer complaints and a negative brand reputation. That is where third-party logistics come in. When you collaborate with Encore Fulfillment, you can trust our team to organize, manage, and store your inventory properly and ship your orders on time.
Encore’s Clothing and Apparel Service
We take a comprehensive approach and combine inventory management and fulfillment solutions to develop a system that results in a flexible, reliable, and responsive fulfillment service for your online apparel business.
E-commerce Integration
We connect our warehouse management system to your e-commerce sales channel to enable true omnichannel order fulfillment. We can establish direct integration with your e-commerce store through most major platforms, including Shopify, Amazon, and WooCommerce. However, if a direct connection is not pre-built, we enable third-party integration software and custom API options to allow fast and flexible e-commerce integration.
Retail Fulfillment
Encore’s retail fulfillment service allows you to leverage our team, technology, and expertise to improve and scale your e-commerce clothing businesses and ensure customer satisfaction. Retail fulfillment can make or break the relationship you have with your customers. That is why we offer integration options, customized product fulfillment and packaging, and shipping optimization to ensure your product reaches the consumer without any delays or inconveniences.
Custom Packaging
Our apparel and clothing fulfillment service also includes custom packaging. For an added touch, we allow our clients to customize the unboxing experience for their customers. We utilize branded boxes and tape, as well as custom marketing inserts, to build your brand with each delivery.
Inventory Management
Inventory management is the driving force behind our services. With the help of detailed, systematic inventory processes and advanced tracking software, we keep a record of your apparel inventory through the full lifecycle of the articles in the warehouse. As part of our inventory management, we initiate receiving via UPC scanning of inbound products to ensure accuracy, reconcile inventory against expected inbounds to ensure correct quantities, and keep transactional records of receiving, transfers, moves, picking, packing, and returns.
Logistics Management
Our team implements efficient and flexible supply chain processes to plan, implement, and control the flow and storage of your apparel goods. From the point of receiving to the point of shipping, we strive to meet your standards, fulfill customer requirements, and ensure logistical efficiency.

Reverse Logistics & Returns Management

Why Choose Encore’s Apparel Fulfillment Service?
One of the biggest challenges for apparel businesses is shipping and fulfillment. For a growing brand, managing shipping can be difficult and expensive. Issues like overpacking, incorrect deliveries, and returns lead to even higher costs and reduced customer retention. That is why the best solution for online apparel businesses is to partner with an experienced logistics and fulfillment company, letting you take advantage of the following benefits.
1. Shipping Optimization
Encore Fulfillment optimizes shipping in three ways: transparent, up-front pricing, automated true-rate shipping powered by advanced software, and 2-day nationwide delivery. We ship at the most economical rates through FedEx, UPS, and USPS. Our shipping optimizations have allowed us to achieve 99.9% order fulfillment accuracy for our customers.
2. Low Operating Costs
Shipping is one of the largest costs associated with the e-commerce apparel industry. Therefore, our shipping optimization provides you with cost-effective ways to ship products without compromising the quality of service. Moreover, incorrect inventory, lost products, and negative customer feedback all increase your costs. Through our order fulfillment accuracy and reimbursement options, we strive to reduce your business’s operating costs.
3. Scalability
With customized services, onsite account managers, exceptional software, and robust processes, our fulfillment service takes care of the operations that allow your business to scale. As a growing brand, the best way to cut down your operational costs is to collaborate with a fulfillment service provider.
4. Streamlined Inventory Management
In the apparel industry, trends change fast. However, when you have high SKU counts, you are likely to run into inventory issues, such as storage problems, sorting issues, lost or damaged items, and more. With the help of the right inventory tracking technology, warehouse management systems, and experienced staff, we provide streamlined inventory management.
5. Higher Fulfillment Accuracy
Accuracy is one of the biggest challenges of handling fulfillment in-house. Without enough staff, the right tools, and proper tracking software, more mistakes are likely to occur as your business grows. Working with a fulfillment company eliminates such problems and increases customer retention. Take advantage of our 99.9% accuracy record.
6. Improved Customer Experience
Accurate fulfillment through streamlined processes eliminates the mistakes that occur during inventory management and shipping, enhancing customer experience. Letting a professional fulfillment company handle your logistics reduces your operational costs and allows you to focus on crucial aspects of your business.
