Multi-point inspections ensure consistency of build, quality and care, regardless of whether you are delivering to thousands or even millions, but every recipient will notice the finer details that are unmistakably Flow Group.

What Is Hand Fulfilment?

E-Commerce Fulfilment

Hand fulfilment has become a core service for our pick and pack e-commerce clients - no longer do businesses need to have a home full of stock to find, pick, pack and post every day!

Our software works seamlessly with Shopify and Shopblocks to fully automate your e-commerce business. Equally, if you're looking to launch an e-commerce element to your business, we can build you a fully integrated bespoke e-commerce website.

Direct Mail Fulfilment

As a full-service mailing house, once your products have been assembled or handpicked, we provide the following vital element - posting them to the end client. Thanks to posting millions of items each year (alongside our ISO14001), we receive heavily discounted postage prices, which we pass on to you. For the bulkier items (such as FSDU's), we courier these to your desired destination(s).
