Fulfil.IO

Seed Round in 2017
*Helping retailers deal with growth* Growth happens and growth makes a lot of things more difficult - people don't know each other as well, customer service finds it harder to co-ordinate with the warehouse, communication becomes muddled, it becomes harder to stay on top of everything that's going on, etc. What worked for 3 or 5 people, doesn't work as well at 6 or 8. And certainly not 10, 15, 25 or more. At some point, these businesses need a system, something to stay organized, something to grow with so they don't lose control of themselves along the way. Order, shipments, purchase orders, inventory and financials need a single point of truth and a home. Most companies cobble together separate tools as they grow, but the weight of disorganization and lack of order collapses and eventually catches up to them. Sales does not know if something is shipped, purchasing doesn't know if a PO was received, accounting doesn't know if the items on an invoice was received and creates exponentially more meetings without the necessary structure and context to make it useful. This is where humans act as duct-tape and where Fulfil comes in. Fulfil helps internet retailers to keep track of their orders, organize warehouses, ship orders on time and give their customers a prime experience, while giving the entire company a central source of truth.
