It is a supply chain managment technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer.
Ecocompass will help facilitate the buying processes by helping customers research and purchase goods on our website. Once a purchase is made, ecocompass will collect the money from the customer and send to you, the manufacturer with shipping information. Ecocompass will wire all money collected for the purchase and shipping charges for the purchase minus commissions, back into the bank account that your company has on file at the end of each billing period.
All you must do as a supplier is prepare for pickup of the product by a certain time notated on the purchase order to a pick up location specified in the account update. A pick up will be made by a carrier and dropped of at the residence.
We use Echo Global Logistics to calculate and track shipments for freight shipments, should it be need for oversized or overweight products.
