Ecommerce sales companies often are great at marketing, but can fall short on packing and shipping.
Rick Nelson, founder and owner of The Fulfillment Lab Inc. in Tampa, has developed technology that helps ecommerce sellers present a more complete package to their customers.
Like other fulfillment companies, The Fulfillment Lab provides warehousing, picking and packaging, shipping and delivering to the end consumer, using FedEx, UPS, the U.S. Postal Service and other carriers. But the Fulfillment Lab uses proprietary software to customize the packaging and increase brand awareness, which Nelson said allows ecommerce sellers to develop stronger relationship with their customers.

Men and women in equal numbers flocked to the site, historically frequented by female shoppers, to purchase masks.
“Etsy’s smart move points to the big advantage of e-commerce—that it can be agile and move quickly to adjust to where the demand is,” explained Sara Rushinek, a business technology professor at the University of Miami Patti and Allan Herbert Business School. “If you’re a retail store you might not have the shelf space or be concerned that a few months later the demand will evaporate and you’ll be stuck with inventory.”
