SUMMARY:
Fulfillment is one of the critical areas of expertise for many organizations, yet it is an incredibly complex area to master. Rather than building a fulfillment department from the ground up, many companies and nonprofits are choosing to partner with a 3PL (third party logistics) provider to make sure their orders are processed accurately and quickly. Spectra, a 3PL provider based in South Carolina, recently welcomed a wealth management firm as a major fulfillment client. In addition to inventory and shipping services, Spectra’s experience in creating online storefronts for ordering is a particular strength in this promising partnership.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
From its headquarters in Columbia and its secondary fulfillment center near Charleston, South Carolina, Spectra serves a wide variety of different clients with inventory and shipping services. Recently a wealth management organization serving a national audience chose to partner with Spectra in order to give its members access to a range of different products as efficiently and easily as possible.
Like many large organizations, Spectra’s new client maintains many different printed materials and physical promotional items that it distributes to members around the country for marketing and other activities. One of the biggest advantages that Spectra offers a company like this one is the branded online ordering portal. By using innovative software and a comprehensive understanding of member access requirements, Spectra’s team ensures that each member that logs onto their storefront sees the products that are best suited to his or her needs.
Streamlining the ordering system in this way conserves time and communication during the ordering process, and only makes it less likely that members will order the wrong items. Of course, it also increases the effectiveness of members, as they enjoy reliable, efficient access to the materials they need to grow their businesses.
Behind the online ordering portal is Spectra’s advanced inventory management system, which uses data to maximize the efficiency of the client’s inventory practices. Keeping stock at optimal levels based on member activity helps the client avoid wasting money on storage space and excessive printing while also keeping sufficient stock on hand to fulfill orders when they come in.
For an organization like this one, professionalism and reliability are key characteristics that must be conveyed, not only through the quality of their printed materials and products, but through the process of ordering and obtaining them as well. A process filled with errors and delayed shipments would communicate the wrong message to users, and Spectra has confidence that partnering with them will ensure just the opposite: a reassurance to members that the organization values their participation and is committed to making them successful.
National organizations searching for a 3PL partner with expertise and a proven track record of success can explore Spectra through its website, spectraintegration.com. There they can learn more about Spectra and the advantages they offer that help maximize the power of fulfillment activities.
