If you are managing a growing e-commerce/DTC business time is your biggest enemy. So taking the time to visit your fulfillment partner may quickly fall off the to-do list...why do you even need to see your products moving in and out of a warehouse?

When brands achieve accelerated growth, legacy tools and systems are often unable to sufficiently keep up with these new stressors. Brave Books, a children's book publishing company, experienced this first hand - managing its inventory and #fulfillment center with Google Spreadsheets. This means the Brave Books team was at risk of overselling kits or individual SKUs because its system lacked visibility into the available inventory. And this required the team to do labor-intensive hand counts of available stock on a near daily basis. Discover how Brave Books upgraded its #ecommerce software solutions to provide perfect inventory visibility and double the amount of orders fulfilled per day: https://lnkd.in/e-DDaAwv

DO YOU MEASURE YOUR DWELL TIME? Dwell time refers to the gap between a #3PL or #fulfillment provider’s marking an order as “shipped,” and the moment a shipping carrier actually scans the package into its system and truly begins to move the package. For most brands they’ve accepted the “status quo” - that exceptions to expected dwell time is a problem that can’t be fixed (and so don’t even track it!) and is an unfortunate byproduct of the fulfillment handoff process between fulfillment center and carriers. That’s a big problem - as it can reach almost a third of a brand’s packages, causing excessive delays and harming customer experience. E-Commerce brands CAN take actions and navigate this serious problem. Read all about how to overcome dwell time in this post. https://lnkd.in/gA2t7HQ8

“This was honestly the best demo I have had in my 15 years in logistics” (full email below) This feedback from a leading 3PL consultant is always nice to receive. But more importantly, it is evidence that the thinking and approach we are taking at Stord is truly disruptive. We set out to build an infinitely scalable cloud supply chain solution for brands of all sizes - from fulfillment to warehouse management software to order management software and everything in between. We have always believed today’s brands need modern software, built in-tandem with logistics (by operators for operators); having external industry veterans not only recognize the need for this, but experience the benefits firsthand is rewarding and an awesome validation of Stord's vision. You can read the full email I received earlier this week below. And if you want to experience it firsthand, you can snag a demo of our order management system (#OMS) here: https://lnkd.in/gyUw6eaj — "Hey Sean, Happy Friday. I just wanted to drop you a quick note. I had my first Stord OMS demo this week, and I was AMAZED by the features and the thought that went into the "if this, then that" rules, rules by channel and the reporting functionality that I saw. It's truly remarkable, and to me, head and shoulders above other 3PLs that have built their own OMS. With more able clients, you can really cut down on some of the customer service hours required. Also, I wanted to share that Brad has been incredible on calls, he's a true pro. You definitely have struck gold there. I also had the pleasure of meeting Josh this week - also, really incredible. That was honestly probably the best demo I have had in my 15 years in logistics... and honestly, most people I chat with really dislike client portal demos. Anyway, long essay aside. I wanted to share some feedback, because I, like others, have been really quick to group many tech-based 3PLs into the same bucket which is pretty foolish. I see what you guys are building and it is fantastic. Like ShipHero with a makeover and HGH. Selling your WMS and then upselling the OMS is such an intelligent model. Love it!   Thanks and have a good weekend"
