The Challenge
Drawing on its reputation and infrastructure in the IT supplies industry, DM Fulfillment has quickly carved a name in retail since launching in 2011. The 3PL ships orders to retail distribution centers and stores as well as drop shipping directly to consumers on behalf of e-commerce retailers.
“We deliver a branded drop ship experience that includes print-on-demand capabilities for packing slips and other materials to reinforce the retailer’s brand and support marketing efforts.”

The Solution
DM Fulfillment is a user of SPS Commerce’s cloud service to enable streamlined integrations with retailers and has allowed it to more fully embrace the demands of omnichannel that require error-free order processing, allowing it to retain a growing roster of retail customers.
The SPS service has faclilitated DM Fulfillment’s ability to deliver the omnichannel experience on behalf of it’s clientele directly to the consumer. With SPS, there is a high level of expertise in retail that it gives the confidence to engage with a growing number of retail customers and guarantee performance. This allows DM Fulfillment to efficiently get up to speed with new customers.
Another ace up DM Fulfillment’s sleeve is it proprietary distributed order management system (DOMs) that allows it to maximize fulfillment across its Fulfillment Centers. DOM looks at inventory and inventory then automatically fulfills from the closest stock to the destination while optimizing inventory. Combined with DM Fulfillment’s omnichannel is a powerful solution.
