We knew early on that we were not going to be able to keep our company lean if we had to manage a fulfillment crew. Once our initial marketing test was done, we began a search and quickly concluded that we needed a larger company with multiple warehouses that we could grow into rather than choose a company with one single, centrally located, warehouse.
It wasn’t quite an out of the box solution for us, but it was extremely painless. We needed to integrate our shopping cart with RSL and although there was no native integration available for our solution, our developer was able to use the RSL API to easily integrate them. Now, whenever an order comes in, it is instantly disseminated to RSL and the order confirmation is recorded in our data base.
We had a dedicated IT contact who quickly answered our developer’s questions and made the integration go smoothly. We also had a great salesperson who answered all of our questions… and believe me, we had a lot!
After the first year, we began using a second RSL warehouse to reduce delivery times for our west coast customers. This is something only our largest competitors can offer their customers.
The customer must have a good experience for our business to succeed. And the good experience includes quick access to tracking information as well as short handling times. RSL has been able to do their part well.
Absolutely--for a growing business who ships nationally, we are happy to recommend them.
We are quickly moving towards having our entire inventory in multiple warehouses. We only have about 20 SKUs at present, but we have plans to double that within 2 years.

“Even though we’re not physically handling the order fulfillment, we feel like we are in complete control of the process.”
We’ve tried to handle this process in-house but it’s just not realistic. Based on the volume and complexity of our order fulfillment, it makes sense to outsource from a cost perspective as well as an operational perspective. Internally, we want to keep our focus on continuing to build our brand and expand our business. We’ve been in a steep growth period for some time now and we don’t want to take our eye off the ball. Order fulfillment is such a detail-oriented process that we really feel it’s important to have it managed by someone who has expertise and experience in that area, and someone who can give it their full attention.
First and foremost, we value RSL’s dependability. Our orders go out on time and they are accurate. That’s the most important consideration. We want everyone who interacts with our brand to have a great experience. That starts with receiving timely, accurate shipments. Secondly, RSL is able to scale quickly. In our business, our shipment volume spikes quickly and dramatically when we onboard a new client. RSL is able to handle those spikes without missing a beat. Another point about RSL that has impressed us is the technology. We’re a technology company ourselves and we recognize the value of state-of-the-art systems. RSL’s cloud-based SmartFill platform provides us with real-time visibility into order status, inventory levels, shipment status and numerous reports that help us run our business as efficiently as possible. Even though we’re not physically handling the order fulfillment, we feel like we are in complete control of the process.
We’ve been partnering with RSL for two years. During that time, we’ve been fortunate to grow substantially. We’re shipping tens of thousands of orders per month to recipients in nearly every state. RSL has been able to grow with us. We have a dedicated account rep at RSL who is so responsive and helpful that we actually feel like he is an extension of our own team. That may sound like a cliché, but it’s absolutely true. RSL’s service orientation is really a differentiator for them. Servicing our business is not simple. When we onboard a new client, it’s a fairly complex process. We ship thousands of “welcome kits” to end users within days of bringing on a new client. The welcome kits include several items, and the welcome kits are not the same for every client. RSL does a great job at assembling these kits accurately and quickly, and ensuring that our end users have a positive first impression of our company. It’s a relief knowing that order fulfillment is a part of our business that we don’t have to worry about. RSL is completely reliable.
