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.
FAQs
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.

Throughout September, we celebrated Sustainable September with a variety of incentives and events for our whole team to get involved in. Here are just a few highlights of what we got up to! 🛍️ From start to finish, we hosted a pop-up shops at all our sites with items kindly donated by some of our amazing customers. This not only helped reduce waste but also raised money for our charity of the year, Chestnut Tree House, with a fantastic grand total of £8660 raised! 💚 We celebrated Green Day by asking everyone to come in wearing an item of green clothing. 🚯 On World Cleanup Day, our East Grinstead teams got stuck in with litter picking to support the local community. 👗We also saw the introduction of the BAG It Campaign where we asked our teams to fill a bag with good quality items for our charity Chestnut Tree House to sell in their shops. ♻️ We wrapped up the month with Recycling Week, joined by Grundon, who delivered an engaging session on the importance of recycling – not just our own waste, but our customers’ too. What a month it’s been! We’re so proud of the enthusiasm and commitment shown by our teams throughout the month, it’s a great reminder of the difference we can make when we work together for a more sustainable future! 💚♻️💪
