The fulfillment service provides end-to-end logistics including storage, goods receiving/shipping, order picking, kitting, returns handling, shipping coordination, and packaging solutions for B2C, D2C, FBA, FBM, and B2B operations. The management service encompasses writing/correspondence, office administration, accounting, HR services, consulting, and real estate management.
