Set the evaluation criteria
Evaluate ShipBob’s network using your customer ZIP codes. Measure the total cost of replenishment, storage, picking, and delivery together.
Published fulfillment services
Define the pass conditions
Before scoring ShipBob, write down the outcomes you need from its distributed ecommerce service. Separate requirements that must pass from preferences you can trade against price or convenience.
Which fulfillment locations would hold our inventory, and how would that change replenishment costs and split shipments? What sample, definition, and result would let us test the answer consistently?
Ask for a repeatable test
Use the same sample and definitions across candidates. Record the result, the evidence, and the unanswered items; do not award a score simply because a feature appears in a proposal.
Score total cost, not one fee
Hold order volume, stock levels, parcel mix, and destinations constant across quotes. Test low-volume and peak scenarios before scoring the total fulfillment cost.
Integrations to confirm
Named integrations have not been verified in this profile. Ask for the exact connector, supported data flows, implementation owner, and a demonstration using your order types.
- Does the connection return tracking and inventory updates?
- What happens to cancellations, bundles, held orders, and failed updates?
- Who fixes an exception, and how can your team see its status?
