Navigating Shipping Charges:
Shipping charges can quickly eat into a retailer's profits, but at Prep Partners, we've got you covered.

Additionally, our partnerships with leading LTL (Less Than Truckload) and FTL (Full Truckload) providers ensure that brands have access to the most cost-effective shipping options available. Whether leveraging existing carrier relationships or opting for Prep Partner's negotiated rates, brands can trust us to optimize their shipping costs.
Labor Challenges and Inventory & Fulfillment Silos:
Labor shortages and siloed inventory and fulfillment processes can create significant hurdles for retailers. However, with Prep Partner's skilled labor force and experienced operations team, we're equipped to handle even the most complex kitting projects with ease.

Investing in machinery and fulfillment tools can be a costly endeavor for retailers. Thankfully, at Prep Partners, we've made significant investments in state-of-the-art fulfillment and kitting machinery. Our staff is extensively trained to operate this machinery, relieving brands from the burden of additional overhead costs, labor, and insurance expenses. Brands can confidently entrust their machinery and training needs to our team, allowing them to concentrate on core brand strategy and innovation.
