Key Takeaways: Fulfillment vs. Micro-Fulfillment Corey Apirian, CEO of Davinci Micro Fulfillment, supports brands with an end-to-end solution for efficient direct-to-consumer eCommerce fulfillment. In the podcast interview, Corey and Joe discuss fulfillment vs. micro-fulfillment. Fulfillment refers to the process of receiving, processing, and delivering customer orders. It involves tasks such as picking and packing products, managing inventory, and shipping orders to customers. Micro-fulfillment, on the other hand, is a specific type of fulfillment that takes place in small fulfillment centers located in close proximity to the end customer. Micro fulfillment focuses on fast and efficient fulfillment, with the goal of minimizing lead time and cost. Micro-fulfillment centers are strategically located throughout the country and are designed to reach any zip code in 2 days or less.
