What the fulfillment service includes
The full fulfillment service covers several interconnected processes: goods receipt, storage, order processing, packing, courier dispatch, returns handling and cash on delivery.
Video recording of every parcel
Every parcel leaving our fulfillment centers is recorded on video from the moment of picking to the courier label being applied. The recording is kept for 90 days and serves as proof to end customers of exactly what was shipped. In case of a complaint or dispute about contents, the video resolves the question in seconds.
Batch and expiry management
For products with expiry dates — supplements, cosmetics, food — our system tracks batches and ships using First-Expiry-First-Out (FEFO). This guarantees that stock reaching the customer always has the longest possible remaining shelf life, and the warehouse has no stuck or blocked batches. At every stage there is a precise history for every item.
Food and supplement certified warehouses
All BigArena fulfillment warehouses are EU food-safety certified for handling food and dietary supplements. Temperature-controlled zones maintain 2–8 °C for temperature-sensitive products.
Label printing at pack (Print on Demand)
When packing at our fulfillment centers, we can print labels customized per order — by language and delivery country. This lets a single SKU serve multiple markets without needing unique SKUs per country.
Real-time stock levels
The BigArena platform shows precise real-time stock — for every SKU, in every one of our 7 European warehouses, by batch. The warehouse picture is always current.
Automatic bundle recognition
The BigArena system recognizes bundles automatically — if a customer orders a 3-product combo, all three SKUs are picked as a single item in the warehouse and packed together. This saves time and avoids manual configuration errors.
40+ courier integrations across Europe
We work with 40+ couriers across Europe — both large networks (DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS) and local providers in every country. The system automatically picks the cheapest and fastest courier for each destination based on daily route optimizations.
Cash on delivery in 17 European countries
We support cash on delivery in 17 European countries — including Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Czechia, Serbia and neighboring countries.
SMS notifications for end customers
An integrated SMS system sends automatic notifications to end customers based on events in the fulfillment process or courier status. Optionally, it can include a retry confirmation attempt if the first delivery fails.
Returns and complaints processing
Every undelivered or returned parcel is processed back in the warehouse — inspection, re-labeling (if needed), return to stock or disposal by category. The entire process is video-recorded.
Refunds to end customers
On request, we also handle refund payouts to end customers on behalf of the online store — it speeds up the process and protects user trust during returns.
Analytics and reporting for the business
The BigArena platform delivers detailed analytics — orders, delivery success, daily COD volumes, returns by reason, average time from order to dispatch. Reports export as PDF or Excel.
Multi-store management from one system
A single client can manage multiple online stores and brands from one fulfillment account. Stock, orders and invoicing stay separate, but logistics processes and warehouses are shared for greater efficiency across multi-channel sales.
Suitable for any product type
BigArena fulfillment centers handle small high-turnover SKUs (supplements, cosmetics), large non-standard items (furniture, sports equipment) and special-regime products (batches, expiry) — hundreds of thousands of unique items in total.
Guaranteed packing in business hours
In the contract we commit to same-day packing for orders received before a cutoff time. SLAs are measurable and visible in the platform — the client sees in real time whether commitments are being met.
Continuous platform updates
The BigArena platform is continuously updated. New courier integrations, new analytics and new warehouse management features are added regularly and available to every client at no extra cost.
Fulfillment — full logistics outsourcing
The whole idea of a fulfillment service is full outsourcing of logistics so the online store can focus on what matters — sales, advertising, product range development and supplier relationships.
