From Purchase Order to Delivery — Our B2B Fulfilment Process

Every B2B order we process follows the same rigorous workflow — ensuring on-time, in-full delivery to your retail and trade customers, with full compliance documentation at every stage.

Step 1

Purchase Order Received

Your purchase order arrives via EDI, email or your OMS. We log it against your inventory in our WMS, confirm stock availability and schedule the pick for your required despatch date.

Step 2

Pick: Pallet, Case or Line-Item

Our warehouse team picks your order — whether full pallets, split cases or individual SKUs. Every pick is barcode-scanned and checked against the PO to ensure complete accuracy before packing.

Step 3

Compliance Labelling & Packing

Cartons and pallets are labelled to your retailer’s exact specification — including GS1 barcodes, retailer-specific carton marks, batch/lot numbers and any other mandatory compliance labels.

Step 4

ASN & Documentation

We generate and submit the Advance Shipping Notice (ASN) to your retailer’s system, produce delivery notes, packing lists and any other trade documentation required before the goods leave our warehouse.

Step 5

Booked Delivery to Retailer DC

We coordinate delivery booking with the retailer’s distribution centre booking system and despatch via our carrier partners — ensuring your delivery arrives in the correct booking slot.

Onboarding took less than a week, our WooCommerce integration was live on day one, and we haven't had a single mis-pick in over six months. The live inventory dashboard gives us visibility we never had before. Highly recommend for any brand scaling past 500 orders a month.

B2B Fulfilment — Your Questions Answered

Common questions from UK wholesalers and brands about our B2B fulfilment service. Need more detail? Call 0115 646 1101 or email 3pl@emfh.co.uk.

Our B2B fulfilment service covers the full trade despatch process: pallet and case-pick order management, GS1 compliance labelling, EDI integration (PO receipt, ASN generation, invoice transmission), advance shipping notice submission, delivery booking system coordination and carrier management for DC deliveries. We work with all major UK retailers and distributor networks and understand their individual compliance requirements.

EMFH has experience supplying products to a wide range of UK retailers and trade customers, including Amazon Vendor, national supermarkets, department stores, sports retailers and independent trade accounts. Each retailer has specific compliance requirements — labelling, ASN format, booking procedures and delivery windows — and our team is experienced in meeting them. During onboarding, we document your specific retailer requirements and build them into our standard operating procedures for your account.

Yes. EMFH supports EDI connectivity with retailer systems for purchase order receipt (EDI 850), advance shipping notice generation (EDI 856) and invoice transmission (EDI 810). We work with your EDI provider or retailer’s trading partner network to establish the connection during onboarding. For retailers that don’t use EDI, we accept orders via email, CSV upload or direct OMS integration.

Yes — this is a common setup for many of our clients. We hold your full inventory at our Nottingham warehouse and manage B2B retailer deliveries and B2C eCommerce orders from the same stock pool. B2B orders are picked, compliance-labelled and despatched on your retailer’s schedule, while B2C orders continue to be fulfilled same-day for your online customers. One warehouse, two fulfilment streams, full inventory visibility in one dashboard.

Our 99.8% order accuracy rate and compliance-first approach is specifically designed to prevent retailer deductions and chargeback fees. In the event that a delivery error on our part leads to a retailer deduction, we will investigate, take responsibility where appropriate and work with you to resolve the issue. We maintain full audit trails for every B2B shipment — including pick records, compliance label photos, ASN submissions and proof of delivery — to support any dispute resolution.

B2B fulfilment pricing is bespoke and depends on your order profile — average order size, pallet vs case-pick split, compliance labelling requirements, number of retailer accounts and despatch frequency. Fill in the quote form or call us on 0115 646 1101 for a free, no-obligation consultation and pricing proposal. We typically respond with a full bespoke quote within one working hour.
