What are some of the best ecommerce order fulfillment companies in the Los Angeles area. Ones that work with small startups or Kickstarter projects?

Order fulfillment is one of the biggest challenges for all businesses, be it a physical store or online selling channel. So that selecting the right order management software leads to the business success. Choosing a right fulfillment company is usually the biggest hurdle most people face when starting an online business. It’s possible to spend weeks — even months — on the issue without coming to a decision, which can be an incredibly frustrating and de-motivating experience. I know, because I’ve struggled through the process myself. Shopify, Volusion, ShopingCartElite and Bigcommerce are some of the most profitable e-commerce sites around the world. Shopify is a fantastic solution for the majority of straight forward, small to medium businesses. Especially shops looking forward  extending to the web or take a product online for the first time. Disadvantage of Shopify is available plugins are generally more expensive, and also less availability that doesn’t allow your e-business running successfully. Volusion is a Windows-based platform that is both powerful and user-friendly. It is suitable for small and medium-scale business. However, the large organization can also use Volusion, but they have to add different modules to make a store effective. Bigcommerce is built in marketing tools like coupons and meta tag fields to help optimize the store, but product page variations can be a little tedious to set up. Volusion and Bigcommerce are both also expensive platforms. An alternative solution, and a better one, in my opinion, would be ShopingCartElite. They offer an all-in-one solution so you won’t need to rely on dozens of different apps, plugins, extensions, and/or integrations to run your business. They have some of the best features you’ll find in terms of marketing, marketplace management, ERP and analytics and I find them to be affordable. Their only downside I think is that they don’t offer a cheap starter plan, but if you’re really serious about e-commerce you’re not going to get much with cheap solutions. They have a free demo trial which is definitely helpful. So, if I were you, I would review them but your choice is up to you.Disclosure: I wrote the post.
