What is Micro-Fulfillment?
Micro-fulfillment is a fulfillment strategy, where a compact facility or fulfillment center is strategically placed in a densely populated location, near customers, to drastically improve delivery times. Micro-fulfillment centers, sometimes called “dark stores”, are traditionally best suited for grocery stores, foodand beverage companies, as well as retail centers.
Today, micro-fulfillment is frequently used to fulfill orders for curbside-delivery, in-store pick up, or local delivery.
With the industry shifting towards omnichannel fulfillment, micro-fulfillment shortens delivery times, often allowing same-day or next-day delivery. Orders in these facilities can be processed as quickly as within two hours of receiving the order.
Micro-fulfillment centers can involve manual picking but often are highly automated to reduce replenishment and picking times.
