Connected Commerce, Essendant’s broad ecommerce, fulfillment and third-party logistics (3PL) solution that formally launched in June, is making its mark in the go-to market space as a comprehensive service that helps brands with omnichannel solutions. Recent customer successes not only demonstrate the company’s range of services but also its ability to quickly address changing customer needs.
“We’ve always known that Connected Commerce had the power to serve a multitude of marketplace solutions, and these recent partnerships demonstrate that variety,” said David Boone, Interim CEO of Essendant. “What we’re most proud of is our ability to understand the client and their needs and tailor a solution to best fit those needs.”
Recent partnerships with three companies highlight the varied and flexible solutions that Connected Commerce offers:
- Meeting International Shipping Needs: Buster + Punch, a British-based home lighting and accessories company, came to Essendant looking for a domestic 3PL partner that could also ship internationally. With Essendant, Buster + Punch has shipping capabilities to over 50 countries globally and five different continents.
- Meeting Rapid Growth: Chagrinovations, a consumer goods invention company, needed a fulfillment partner that could scale up quickly to accommodate new business with a leading international retailer. Within five months, Essendant realigned one of its West Coast distribution centers to handle and fulfill the new influx of product, giving Chagrinovations the ability to ship 7.1M units for this new business and positioning the company for 18-fold growth over a two-year period.
- Meeting Today’s Customer Delivery Expectations: An indoor/outdoor furniture and fireplace company that had never worked with a 3PL before, approached Essendant in need of East and West Coast distribution capability. After partnering with Essendant, the company decreased consumer delivery times by 1-3 days while also decreasing shipping costs.
For companies of all sizes and markets, Essendant’s Connected Commerce helps drive visibility and proven sales growth through:
- Integrations: A connection to most major marketplaces, B2B platforms and webstores as well as nine of the top 10 national retailers.
- Ecommerce Services & Platform Management: Deep eCommerce service and channel expertise, driving sales for more than 1,300 major brands and 560 suppliers through 20 online storefronts and marketplaces.
