Product care and inventory process
Warehousing
When our team receives your material directly from your vendor, it streamlines your entire process. We are immediately notified of new inventory at our secure warehouses so that we can verify quantities — saving your personnel valuable time.
Inventory Management
Our team manages and maintains your inventory from the moment your goods arrive at our facility. Items are photographed, I.D. tagged, and prepared for shipment to your field representatives.
Fulfillment
Standardized field unit configurations allow your team to be more efficient with their time and more effective in disseminating information to your members. Active inventory control minimizes waste, prevents over-ordering, and cuts unnecessary storage fees for idle merchandise.
Delivery
No matter the size, we can efficiently and economically deliver your order on the same day. Your fulfillment order is delivered directly to your event from our warehouse. At the end of your event, your unused materials will be picked up, returned to our warehouse, and re-stocked for your next event.
