Glossary
Stockout
A stockout is an event in which a product is exhausted in inventory and, therefore, unavailable to fulfill an order.
Overstock
Having too much stock in a warehouse that has not sold which increases storage costs and reduces working capital
Fulfillment
Fulfillment centers enable e-commerce merchants to outsource warehousing and shipping. This relieves online businesses of the necessary physical space to store all products, which is beneficial for merchants without the capacity to directly manage inventory.
Storage
A warehouse is a building for storing goods before sending goods to the final customer or to a fulfillment center. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial parks on the outskirts of cities, towns, or villages.
