Forte Frozen Offers Pick and Pack Services Across the United States

At Forte Frozen, we’re proud to offer cold storage and e-commerce solutions across the United States. As part of our e-commerce fulfillment, we offer pick and pack services at each of our warehouse locations. Pick and pack services are in high-demand amongst businesses that sell products online. But what exactly is it?

In this blog post, we’ll unpack (heh, see what we did there?) exactly what pick and pack is and why it’s important for the industry. 

What is Pick and Pack?

When an online business receives an order, that order is forwarded to the warehouse. The warehouse employees then find the purchased item in the inventory and “pick” it from the stock. Then, the order is packed in the correct packaging and labelled accordingly to be shipped out to the customer.

This process is what is called “pick and pack.” This is not to be confused with case picking, which is when a warehouse pulls an entire case or carton of product from the stock. Instead, pick and pack is used when individual items need to be retrieved from the business’ inventory.

The Importance of Pick and Pack Services

Many - if not most - e-commerce businesses don’t have the capacity to store, pick, pack, and ship out their own products. That’s because they need to focus more on their business and marketing rather than the execution of shipping out their products successfully to customers. Of course, fulfilling orders is equally or more important than marketing efforts, but most online businesses rely on a third party logistics company, such as Forte Frozen, to store inventory and ship out packages as needed. 

This is exactly why pick and pack services are important; because without these available services, businesses would have to do everything on their own. While this may work for some, many online businesses have a large inventory that is too much to handle in-house.  Having high-quality pick and pack services is important, not only for companies to be able to accurately track their inventory, but also for orders to get to customers on-time and in-full. 

Forte Frozen’s experienced and dedicated warehouse staff is trained to ensure that your orders reach your customers with the correct packaging and labeling. We also have a shipping reach of 1-2 days across the continental United States, providing customers the satisfaction of receiving their orders quickly. 

Pick and pack services also tend to be more cost-effective for businesses because they don’t have to pull a variety of products from different warehouses across the country. Instead, they can have their inventory stocked at one of our locations closest to their customer base and have their products pulled from one source. 

In addition to pick and pack, Forte Frozen also offers the following value-added services: 

•Room Freezing

•Boxing

•Re-packaging

•Case Picking

•Cloud Based Inventory Management
