In a drop shipping model, your supplier or contract manufacturer handles fulfillment but you own the customer experience. This creates challenges around visibility, coordination, and billing accuracy.
Axolt gives you complete control of the process without needing to hold inventory.

When your customer places an order:
✅ Sales Order Created in Axolt (manually, via API, or eCommerce sync)
📦 Drop-ship Flag automatically routes fulfillment to the supplier
🔄 Order Status Updates are tracked as the supplier confirms shipment
🚚 Shipment Notifications keep customers informed with tracking and ETA
💸 Invoice is Triggered Automatically once shipment is confirmed
💰 Cash Collection is recorded against the customer invoice
