When to Outsource Your Fulfilment, Why it Makes Sense, and Who to Trust

The decision to outsource your fulfilment to a third party is not one that any business takes lightly. Read our guide to outsourcing.

What are the Benefits of Omnichannel Fulfilment?

Omnichannel fulfilment is the provision of fulfilment services for all of a brand’s retail channels. For most brands these services are split between multiple fulfilment partners. Here we look at the advantages of bringing them all together under one.

When should an indie brand outsource fulfilment?

If you’re finding yourself spending more time packing boxes than growing your brand, it’s time. Many indie founders wait too long, thinking they’ll lose control but in reality, outsourcing frees you up to focus on marketing, product development, and customer experience. The right 3PL partner will keep you in the loop, while taking the operational stress off your plate. In short: when fulfilment starts to slow you down, that’s your cue.

How does ILG support small businesses and scaleup brands?

ILG doesn’t just ship boxes; we become an extension of your team. We help indie and scaleup brands by providing scalable storage, flexible pick & pack operations, and seamless integration with your sales channels (like D2C, retail, and social commerce). Our customer service managers understand founder-led businesses and keep you closely involved. No black boxes or mystery warehouses. We scale with you, without compromising the personal touch your customers love.

What value-add services does ILG offer for indie brands?

We know indie brands thrive on those extra details that turn buyers into loyal fans. That’s why we offer personalisation (custom messages, branded tissue, stickers), gift wrapping, eco-friendly packaging options, and special kitting services for influencer or seasonal campaigns. We also support in-box messaging, so every order feels like a branded experience rather than just a delivery. You focus on creating magic; we make sure it arrives looking magical.

Is ILG a good fit for D2C fulfilment in the UK?

Absolutely. ILG has years of experience helping D2C brands like Lemonade Dolls and Dock & Bay grow in the UK (and beyond). We handle all the nitty-gritty: B2C and B2B orders, fast shipping, returns, omnichannel logistics, and international expansion. Our facilities are BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certified, and we offer green delivery options to match your brand values. Bottom line: we help you scale without sacrificing speed, sustainability, or brand love.
