INTERNEL and West Coast Prep 3PL partner to help e-commerce brands manage fulfillment between Europe and the U.S. with local warehousing, shipping and returns support on both sides of the Atlantic.
During a recent FHNW student visit to our Warsaw warehouse, we walked through how fulfilment really operates in practice, from stock accuracy and picking to shipping and returns across the EU.
We often see brands selling across several EU countries with stock split between two or three warehouses. It works for a while, but over time it creates friction. Inventory ends up in the wrong place, returns take too long to get back into sale and the whole setup becomes harder to control.
