Excellence in International fulfilment

This category rewards those retailers who are selling to overseas customers and providing a differentiated fulfilment experience. It seeks to identify the most effective examples of order fulfilment in terms of time, cost and flexibility. We welcome joint submissions with commercial partners offering technology and / or services support as part of the overall offer. The category also seeks to identify and recognise excellence in any geography-specific aspects of the fulfilment offer which have been tailored to suit the needs of the local market, beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to overseas fulfilment.
