If you’re a brand looking to get connected with the right fulfillment center (FC) or the other way around, how do you go about finding the other?
Up until now, brands would search the web for FCs whereas the FCs just wait for brands to come and find them; it was either that or referrals on both sides that would help connect the parties together.
Now, Izba and Capabl have developed an Exchange platform that aims to simplify fulfillment by providing brands the chance to explore a directory of eCommerce fulfillment providers on the internet.
You must be asking yourself, what’s the difference between searching the web and searching the Exchange for an FC?
The answer is marketing. On search engines, you’ll definitely find the FC that has the best marketing team in place. Whether or not they have the fulfillment expertise that you require is something you’ll have to experience once you engage with them.
The Exchange is the most exhaustive directory of the best eCommerce fulfillment centers on the internet.
What is the Izba Exchange?
Containing detailed profiles and filters for over 1000 locations across the globe, our goal is to help brands quickly build their short lists of fulfillment providers during their RFP process.
Combining marketing data, testimonials, and empirical performance, the Exchange is simply the best way for brands and fulfillment centers to find each other.
4 Main Functions of the Exchange

How does it work?
The Exchange is envisioned to be a database that enlists fulfillment centers and brands alike that are looking to partner with each other.
With over 1,000 fulfillment providers already signed up, the Exchange is capable of providing a list of fulfillment centers to brands after matching them as per their requirements.
What’s more? You get the help of Izba’s consultants that identify your requirements and match you with the best providers in that category.
Core Features of the Exchange
Filtered Choices
The Exchange makes it easy for brands to filter out the type of providers they want to work with by refining their search.
As of launch, the Exchange offers brands to filter fulfillment providers as per their:
- Existing Shopping Cart Integrations
- Product Categories Served
- Core Offerings
- Value-Added Services
- Ownership
Robust Fulfillment Center Profiles
With credible and verifiable background profiles, fulfillment providers get the chance to show their performance and earn the trust of their clients.
All the providers signing up for the Exchange are verified by experts at Izba and Capabl before getting their profiles published on the platform.
A detailed survey followed by discussions is scheduled to make sure we know the provider’s nature and scale of business, the categories and levels of services they can provide, key contacts, location details, etc.
These surveys also detail the ideal customer profile that the providers would like introductions to.
How is the Exchange different from other solutions?
Completely Free
The Exchange makes it easy for brands to find fulfillment partners that are the perfect match for their business.
For fulfillment centers, this presents an opportunity to showcase their performance and for brands, a free list of polled fulfillment partners along with a trusted introduction.
We believe you shouldn’t have to sign up and give out unnecessary information just to search for potential partners which is why, as of launch, we offer a list of 5 Providers that excel in the niche and industry that you specify.
You won’t be wrong to ask what the catch is or how and why we’re offering our FC networks to everyone.
As Izba and Capabl have both been nurturing startup supply chains around the globe, we strive to help brands and fulfillment centers by connecting them with their ideal match.
Transparent
It’s as you see it. You define the location and criteria that you want to find a fulfillment partner, and the Exchange creates ML-generated suggestions of no more than 15 providers that one of our experts at Izba reviews for completeness.
The idea is to make our analytical work and network available for brands around the world in order to make it easy for fulfillment seekers and providers to find each other.
As stated earlier, there is no platform other than Izba Exchange that serves as an unbiased analytical performance benchmark directory for fulfillment centers.
We believe fulfillment centers deserve to be recognized for their performance rather than their marketing skills.
Fulfillment Center Profiles
The Exchange serves as a platform to provide fulfillment centers a chance to promote themselves with their analytical performance and prove how they’re better than their competitors.
With updated individual profiles featuring major highlights of each partner, this fulfillment directory will provide everything a brand and other competitors need to know to improve their business.
Largest Database of Providers on the Internet
Even at launch, Izba Exchange is the largest database of Providers on the internet, meaning it’s the only place you can come to for free market recon.
Join the white pages for fulfillment as we grow together to create the ultimate network for seekers and providers to find one another.
As of now, we’re weighted toward North America but we aim to include more fulfillment centers from around the world on the list.
More Arriving
Izba Exchange will continue to feature more functionalities while increasing the number of providers and seekers available on the platform. If you feel that it’s not providing you with the information you seek, feel free to contact us for help!
