Zalando's fulfilment service is growing Zalando Fulfillment Solutions is almost three years old and now counts more than a hundred partners.
Zalando offers products itself, but for several years it has also acted as a platform for external sellers. They can sell clothes, shoes and accessories through Zalando's webshop. About ten per cent of all items in the Zalando webshop come from other retailers.
Since 2016, these partners can choose to also have Zalando take care of their logistics. Zalando Fulfilment Solutions (ZFS) customers place their items directly in Zalando's warehouses and use the web giant's logistics infrastructure.
Zalando's fulfilment service now counts more than a hundred partners. These include small players like Ivy & Oak, but also larger brands like Eastpak, The North Face, Calvin Klein and WE Fashion.
Every third order with partners is now delivered by ZFS, the company reveals. The e-tailer targets further growth of its platform and fulfilment service in the coming years; by 2023, 40 per cent of items should come from external sellers. Of these, 70 per cent should be shipped by ZFS.
