Customer orders coordinated by MED, with the producer shipping directly to the customer

A project-specific fulfilment route

Dropshipping coordination for suitable programmes

Your customer places an order. We pass the details to the producer, who ships directly to the customer.

Designed before it is switched on

A direct dispatch model starts with a carefully designed flow.

A dropshipping programme needs aligned data, stock, packing, service levels, and exceptions.

Dropshipping is assessed as an operating model, not treated as a universal delivery promise. Product suitability, order flow, market requirements, packing, dispatch responsibility, and customer communication all need an agreed design.

For suitable programmes, Med Food Ark can help coordinate the supply-side information and partner interfaces needed to move from order signal to dispatch handover.

A practical scenario

Before a product goes live, agree what happens after the order.

A retailer considering direct supplier dispatch needs a clear answer to everyday questions: who confirms stock, what data accompanies the order, how is it packed, and who communicates when something changes?

Illustrative requirement · Planned around your operation

Qualify the product and market

Review the order profile, product characteristics, storage needs, destination requirements, and partner capabilities.

Design the everyday workflow

Agree how order data, stock confirmation, packing instructions, dispatch status, and customer communication move between parties.

Work through the exceptions

Define responsibilities for unavailable stock, delays, damaged goods, and returns, then test a bounded flow before expanding.

Where we can help

The detail that holds the journey together.

A defined scope keeps the product, people, and next decision connected.

Discuss your priorities
  • Product and market suitability review
  • Order and product-data workflow definition
  • Stock, packing, and dispatch-responsibility alignment
  • Partner handover and status coordination
  • Exception, return, and customer-communication planning inputs

Before we begin

A few practical questions.

Is dropshipping available for every product?

No. Suitability depends on the product, market, handling requirements, order profile, and the participating partners. A specific operating model must be agreed.

Does this include an automatic shop integration?

An integration is not assumed. Order data, stock updates, and dispatch communication are defined during programme design, including any technical interfaces the participating systems require.

Who manages returns and customer communication?

Those responsibilities need explicit agreement before the programme begins. The design should cover routine updates as well as unavailable stock, damage, delivery exceptions, and returns.
