Crowdfunding fulfillment process
1. Step
Develop an exceptional product and launch your crowdfunding campaign
It all starts with a product concept, development, and marketing it to potential backers.
2. Step
Ship inventory to our network of worldwide fulfillment centers
Once you’ve raised enough money to manufacture your product and select a supplier, your ShipMonk journey begins. When completed, your supplier ships your products to one of ShipMonk’s eleven 1st party fulfillment centers (located across the U.S. with international locations in Mexico, Canada, and the U.K.).
3. Step
Products received into inventory with quality control to ensure excellence
Once your products are delivered to our fulfillment centers, we’ll induct them into inventory via the ShipMonk platform. During that process, we take photos and precise measurements of every SKU, forcing strong quality control standards and optimizing shipping costs. After inbound receipt and entry, you’ll have complete visibility of your goods via the ShipMonk 3PL ecommerce fulfillment platform.
4. Step
Integrate ShipMonk with your crowdfunding platform & ecommerce stores for omnichannel fulfillment
Our award-winning software integrates with 100+ plug-and-play ecommerce shopping carts, marketplaces, and solution providers. Eliminate the need for manual work, as our system will automatically sync orders, inventory, returns, etc.
5. Step
Create a stellar unboxing experience with custom packaging or kitting
Unboxing is the critical moment. Our customizable packaging options will make your customers feel like kids on Christmas. ShipMonk prides itself on maintaining the flexibility to meet your vision, whether it be: branded packaging, gift messaging, promotional inserts, branded stickers, or whatever else you can dream up.
6. Step
Moment of truth – Your backer’s order is delivered
Everything is about getting your product to this point. We know this is your brand’s time to shine, and we’ve built our process to ensure that happens. For those times when ship happens, we’ve got you covered. With ShipMonk’s claims portal, you can file, track and resolve claims directly in-portal.
