International Fulfillment Solutions
International fulfillment solutions provide businesses with a way to efficiently and effectively manage fulfilling orders for customers outside of their home country. These solutions are essential for companies that want to expand their reach and tap into the global market. Arta specializes in end-to-end international fulfillment services by coordinating complex logistics for items that require more than just a box, including fine art, design objects, furniture, and collectibles.
Our fulfillment solutions provide a wide range of support, enabling businesses to offload quoting, booking, shipping, tracking, and email automation. This support can save resources and time, allowing businesses to focus more on growth and optimization.
Another advantage of global fulfillment solutions is that they can help businesses reduce the cost of shipping and handling for their international customers. By partnering with Arta, you have access to all of our established relationships with international carriers, enabling your business to access discounted shipping rates and pass your savings on to customers.
COVID-19 and Global Fulfillment Risks
The risks related to COVID-19 and global fulfillment can have significant impacts on businesses, including delays, increased costs, reduced demand, and health and safety risks for workers. It is important for businesses to carefully assess and manage these risks in order to minimize their impact. Here’s what you need to know so you can plan for any such impediments.
Reduced warehouse capacity
Warehouse labor may be at reduced capacity to mitigate potential health risks. In some cases, local government mandates may temporarily shut warehouses down, which can significantly impact fulfillment and cause delays. Understanding the effects of closures can help you better set customer expectations when estimating timelines.
Warehouse closures
As workforces become reduced and warehouse closures rise, worldwide shipping and fulfillment could halt, prompting businesses to re-evaluate supply chains and international fulfillment solutions. Exploring supply chain diversification and resilience is one way to adapt to these obstacles. If a warehouse you use closes, redirect your inventory to a fulfillment center still in operation.
Supply chain disruptions
Disruptions impact not only warehouse production but shipping companies, too. With so much uncertainty around the supply chain, it’s critical to communicate regularly with customers and fulfillment partners. Constant communication will help build trust and allow you to manage expectations better. Consider providing conservative fulfillment estimates and reducing shipping options, so you can ensure customers remain happy.
Worldwide fulfillment and how Arta can help

Expanded coverage
Arta launched Air Freight Instant Quote in March 2019, covering 33 major hubs worldwide.
