Our Story
The Prep Partners Group story begins with a relationship formed between the partners while students at St. John’s Preparatory High School in Danvers, MA. While each partner pursued separate careers the relationship between them continued. Now with the formation of Prep Partners Group the relationship has grown into a partnership leveraging decades of combined executive and operational experience.
Mission
To provide competitive, customer specific fulfillment, distribution, and technology driven logistics to be the strongest link in the supply chain.
Vision
To evolve and grow with the changing needs of our customers and the market as a whole to deliver a complete omnichannel solution in the rapidly growing fulfillment & logistics and ecommerce sector.
Our Values
Our business was built on relationships and we strongly believe in the power of partnerships.
These core values are not only the foundation of our company but shape how we view and service our customers.
Our Methods
Prep Partners Group own and operate our own facilities which allows for flexibility of scale, competitive pricing and the ability to customize solutions based on our customers needs. We believe that all successful logistics companies need to have robust warehouse management systems that are able to adapt to the ever changing and growing space. We expect that for our customers, the ecommerce and omnichannel customer experience is a key focus in their day to day business. Increased competition and “The Amazon Effect” has created a demand to focus on ensuring our deliverables to market are fast, clean and accurate along with clear customer visibility into every step of the supply chain.
The requirement to improve customer service in order to handle the speed and volume of transactions has led to the need for improved technology. We understand that transportation and deliverables to the end user require a cross platform solution allowing businesses, carriers and 3PLs to integrate.
