    So nice

    View profile for Kathleen Sullivan Garman, graphic

    Operations, Supply Chain and Logistics for E-Commerce. Working on legend status.

    Looking for a new #3PL? You need to figure out what your priorities are first. 🗺 Geography: Near a port? Near your factory? Tax implications for cross border (see our blog on Section 321). Where you’re manufacturing or importing from, timing of manufacturing runs and cost of freight from factory to warehouse. If you are selling something meltable, you can’t pick a warehouse in Texas that doesn’t also have ambient temperature regulation in place. Your geography will be key to making sure the costs of your shipments will be efficient. I'm a huge fan of Alpacka Fulfillment - they're located in Northern California near the Port of Oakland. Perfect for shipments coming in to the west coast and not as congested as the Port in Long Beach. 🖥 Tech stack: Are you on Shopify? Woocommerce? Magento? TikTok? Using an ERP? Using EDI? This is a critical piece. If your warehouse doesn’t have an integration you need it may cost more to get onboard. Not all WMS systems are created equal so if you have one you've worked with and are comfortable with, put that on your list as a "nice to have". ShipHero is a favorite of mine, I find it easy to use and it has some extra features that help in managing your processes. What shipping speeds do you offer in your sales channels? Having ALL your tech stack in there will be important. To avoid manual processes for order management and inventory you will need them to have an API integration to your sales channels and your inventory management software. If you’re selling B2B via EDI you’re going to want to make sure they know that as well. Keep in mind what you want for “future” tech stack as well. 🤕 Your current pains: Make sure they know what you want to fix now, what needs improvement, what aligns with your goals. Being specific here will give you a chance to fix the things that are holding you back. ⏰ Timeline: In a hurry? Have a shipment on the way with no destination? Got into a big fight with your spouse because you’re fulfilling out of the garage and they want to park the car there? Having expensive problems with your current warehouse? Warehouses will phase in new customers to avoid too much pressure on the daily operations so knowing your plans will also help them to know if they can accommodate you. Is that all? Not even close but I'll save the rest for tomorrow so this post doesn't turn into a novel. #RFP #3pl #supplychain #logistics #ecommercefulfillment

    3PL Benefits vs. Costs: Is it Worth it? Here’s a conversation that, albeit overly simplistic, suggests the importance of using a 3PL service. “Hey boss, its Al… I’m here at the warehouse, and a potential customer asked me this morning, ‘Is it even worth it to hire a 3PL to fulfill my orders?’ And I said, ‘Uhhhhhhh… YAH!’” “Great job, Al. Did you tell him why?” Here’s what Al could have – and should have – conveyed. Once you can no longer easily fill orders yourself, it’s absolutely critical that you outsource this activity to a 3PL – it’s one of the best ways to grow your company. It’s exceedingly difficult for you, as a business owner, to scale your company if you have to fill orders yourself. Whether you have staff doing it or you’re doing it, at some point, it no longer makes sense for you to do all the things a 3PL company could simply do for you. By outsourcing these tasks, you can grow your company quickly knowing that the back end of your business is completely taken care of by your 3PL provider. In truth, 3PL benefits are many. Here are some reasons why the pricing for a 3PL is fair and justified! . #pickandpack #womenowned #logistics #3PL #warehousing #ecommerce #shopifystore #shopifygrowth #scalemybusiness https://lnkd.in/gB6JkAeS

    6 Ways Startups Can Benefit from Fulfillment Services Hi again! It’s me, Al, your fulfillment advisor extraordinaire. And if you sell products… lots of them, a 3PL will change your life and the life of your business. Bold statement? NO! Truth: whether you are currently working out of your garage or you are a funded startup, it doesn’t matter. Any business that sells products must ensure that their goods reach their customers safely and on time. Better to think about outsourcing your fulfillment services sooner rather than later! While handling fulfillment services yourself (or with internal staff) may seem like the less expensive option, outsourcing fulfillment services to a 3PL will provide you with untold benefits, some of which I have outlined below. #pickandpack #womenowned #logistics #3PL #warehousing #ecommerce #shopifystore #shopifygrowth #scalemybusiness https://lnkd.in/g3XPFfdQ

    A Guide to Choosing the Best Logistics Provider Good morning! I was speaking with my buddy, Carl, and we were talking about how difficult and confusing it can be to choose the right logistics management and order fulfilment service. Yet, logistics is critical to supply chain management. The company you outsource your processes to can make all the difference in how your business is run. When done right, it should free up your time to focus on growing your business. Poorly managed logistics services, on the other hand, can lead to hold-ups, delays, and a series of problems. Not only can it bring you back to square one, you may find yourself even further back than when you first started out. Choosing the right logistics provider is a crucial decision that will affect the reliability and efficiency of your entire business. In making this all-important decision, here are 5 tips that will help you choose the best third-party logistics service for your business needs.
