Decision to Outsource

SUMMARY

A nationally recognized retail and wholesale distribution business made the strategic decision to outsource its logistics and eliminate the expenses and overhead associated with operating its own fulfillment operation.

CHALLENGE

The company realized it was critical to focus time and resources on the expansion of its product lines and customer base. Management contacted ShipRight to discuss outsourcing the entire fulfillment operation, requesting solutions for both direct-to-consumer and business-to-business orders, as well as kitting and assembly for its retail displays

SOLUTION

ShipRight presented the company with a comprehensive proposal including a detailed menu of services, freight discounts, and operating procedures that clearly demonstrated increased efficiency and an overall reduction of costs. Within 90 days of acceptance, ShipRight coordinated the complex move of an entire warehouse of inventory and equipment cross-country, and within 5 days of shutting down the former Colorado based operation, began fulfilling orders and managing logistics in Maine.
