About ship from store with stockinstore
stockinstore's ship from store solution helps retailers use their store network as a competitive advantage:
- Ship more efficiently: Fulfil orders from the most optimal store location
- Reduce delivery times: Get products to customers faster by shipping locally
- Improve inventory management: Better visibility and turnover across all locations
Together with Starshipit, stockinstore provides a seamless approach to omnichannel fulfilment.
How it works
The stockinstore Order Management System (OMS) identifies the best store to fulfil each online order by assessing:
- Inventory levels - Which stores have the items in stock?
- Proximity to customer - Which store is closest for faster delivery?
- Allocation rules - Custom rules based on your business logic
Once a store is selected:
- The order appears in the stockinstore OMS Portal
- Store staff pick and pack the order
- Shipping labels are generated and printed through Starshipit
- The order is dispatched directly from the store
This reduces transit times and costs while improving customer satisfaction.
Integration
stockinstore works with:
- All major eCommerce platforms
- POS and ERP systems
- Starshipit for shipping and tracking
The integration covers the entire fulfilment process - from order placement, to pick and pack, to label generation and shipment tracking.
Scalability

| Business size | How it helps |
|---|---|
| Small boutique | Start with a few locations and simple rules |
| Growing retailer | Add locations and customise allocation logic as you expand |
| Large chain | Handle high volumes with real-time inventory visibility and automated routing |
