Introduction

Amazon just opened a huge $500 million fulfillment center in Woodburn Oregon, a cutting-edge facility that runs on advanced robotics AI, and covers 3.8 million square feet. This warehouse can hold up to 40 million items and gives jobs to more than 1,500 people (with plans to grow to over 2,800). This development shows a big change in the fulfillment industry, one that Stock and Ship is already on board with.

At Stock and Ship, we don’t just see this as big news, we see it as a sign of where our industry is going, and it backs up our goal to offer scalable high-tech warehouse and fulfillment services that help online sellers grow with confidence.

Technology has an Impact on Fulfillment Logistics

Amazon’s new warehouse boasts more than 30 miles of conveyor belts, 6,000 robots, and shelf management driven by AI that has a big impact on productivity. This high level of automation aims to cut delivery times and lessen operational mistakes key objectives that all fulfillment partners should strive to achieve.

At Stock and Ship, we know sellers need the same level of accuracy and quickness when growing across platforms such as Amazon FBA, Walmart, and others. This is why we offer custom-made services including:

  • Amazon FBA Prep Services
  • Walmart Fulfillment Services
  • Inventory Receiving and Storage
  • Pick and Pack Fulfillment
  • Returns Management
  • Repackaging and Relabeling
  • Dedicated Inventory Management

The Rise of Strategic Warehousing

For Amazon to build the 850,000-square-foot warehouse and fulfillment services in Woodburn, Oregon, the city required $15 million in infrastructure improvements to the area. This shows that cavernous space strategies, which seem nearly indispensable for successful last-mile delivery, are now made, or rather fulfilled, by the strategic positioning of warehouse space.

At Stock and Ship, we’re here to help you navigate these challenges with as much grace and peace of mind as possible with fulfillment that reduces your times to delivery, your overall shipping costs, and the number of complaints from end customers.

Whether you need to access consumers on the West Coast, East Coast or across the country, we can fulfill smarter and faster using strategically placed warehouses and smart shipping strategies.

The Human Side of Automation

As impressive as Amazon’s automation may be, it still needs thousands of humans working at the top of their game to make sure everything goes right. 200-plus Amazon employees shifted in, to train new hires and oversee their onboarding, a sign that human oversight is as important as machines in Amazon’s industrial dystopia.

Here at Stock and Ship, we do not only trust systems. We use intelligent software together with the power of intelligent humans to provide you with a fast, accurate and professional service you can trust. Our strategy is to closely align with e-commerce brands with a customized fulfillment experience that can dynamically scale as your business grows.

    Why is it Important to You as the Seller?

    Amazon’s mega-warehouse demonstrates just how important that is:

    • Invest in fulfillment technology
    • Prioritize order speed and accuracy
    • Collaborate with Agile and Dependable Logistic Service Providers.

    For sellers large and small, attempting to match Amazon’s scale is a fool’s errand. But by teaming up with a fulfillment center like Stock and Ship, you can tap into the same tech, processes, and dependability without the overhead.
