Dropshipping: Selling without inventory; the supplier ships directly to the customer
Dropshipping
What is dropshipping?
Dropshipping is the process of selling products directly from the supplier to the customer. There are always three parties involved in dropshipping. On one side, you have the supplier, also known as the wholesaler. On the other side, you have the consumer, the end user. The link between these two parties is the dropshipper, or the owner of an online store.
The advantages of dropshipping are:
- No need to keep your own inventory
- You don’t have to ship anything yourself
- No need to worry about leftover stock
- You can offer a wide variety of products
How does dropshipping work?
Essentially, you forward a customer’s order to the supplier, who then arranges for the order to be shipped. As a dropshipper, you’re essentially bringing supply and demand together, without any other party involved.

The Benefits of Dropshipping via MontaWMS
Dropshipping through our intelligent WMS gives you real-time insight into your order and inventory flows, whether in your own warehouse or your suppliers’. This is crucial if you run a dropshipping business. The system also tracks how long it takes for a product to be shipped from the warehouse to the customer, and you’ll receive reports with smart purchasing advice. Process optimization leads to higher revenue and greater customer satisfaction.
Optimize dropshipping for your online store. Since the supplier doesn’t have the item in stock, orders go on backorder. It is possible to manually remove the backorder from Montaportal and send the order information to the dropshipper so they can process the order. However, this is a time-consuming task that is also prone to errors.

MontaWMS in combination with drop shipping
There are several ways to avoid manual work. A distinction must be made between:
You’re already using MontaWMS
. Of course, the easiest solution is for both the supplier and the dropshipper to use MontaWMS. To ensure that all information flows related to orders and inventory are properly synchronized, a special channel is created for dropship orders.We link this channel to the warehouse where the inventory is located. This can be a Monta warehouse or your own warehouse if you’re a dropshipper using MontaWMS. The system also allows you to see how many backorders there are for a product at the customer’s end who is selling it. This is useful in case you need to place a purchase order later.
You don’t (yet) use MontaWMS
If you don’t use MontaWMS, the orders must be retrieved from the backorders, including an automatic update to the online store owner. We offer various solutions for this as well to ensure that inventory and orders remain available.
