OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire PNW Warehousing to accomplish?

• We partnered with PNW Warehousing to gain a reliable logistics partner who could handle the unique requirements of perishable goods. Our goals were clear: reduce delays in shipping, maintain proper storage conditions for freshness, and improve the accuracy of order fulfillment for both subscription-based deliveries and retail shipments. Another critical goal was to streamline our logistics so that our internal team could spend more time focusing on product development and marketing rather than operational bottlenecks.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

PNW Warehousing managed our entire supply chain from the point products left our production facility to the moment they reached retailers and end consumers. Key deliverables included: 

• Inventory Management: They tracked expiration dates and rotated stock to ensure freshness. 
• Fulfillment Services: Orders were packed accurately, often with customized packaging depending on customer requests or subscription boxes. 
• Distribution: They coordinated nationwide deliveries, ensuring that both small and large orders arrived on time. 
• System Integration: Their team worked with our IT department to connect their warehouse management software with our subscription order system, which gave us real-time insights into stock availability. 

One scenario that stood out was when we launched a new line of fresh meal products. PNW Warehousing helped us reconfigure packaging workflows to meet stricter handling requirements, ensuring every shipment met food safety standards.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We noticed fewer errors in order fulfillment, faster shipping times for our subscription customers, and better inventory visibility. Customer satisfaction improved because orders consistently arrived fresh and well-packed, even during high-demand periods. Internally, our team saved significant time by not having to troubleshoot logistics issues, which freed us up to focus on growing the brand and building relationships with retail partners.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was outstanding. They provided clear timelines and updates on shipments, and when challenges arose, such as a sudden increase in orders following a marketing campaign, they scaled operations seamlessly without us experiencing delays. Their account manager often anticipated our needs before we had to ask. For instance, when we hinted at increasing production before the holiday season, they had already allocated extra space and staff to handle the uptick.

What was your primary form of communication with PNW Warehousing?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most was their understanding of how warehousing directly affects brand perception. They weren’t just storing and shipping boxes, they recognized that every package represented our brand’s promise of quality and freshness to pet owners. Their willingness to adjust workflows for specialized needs, like insulated packaging for fresh food, showed a level of flexibility and care that we hadn’t experienced with other providers.

Are there any areas for improvement or something PNW Warehousing could have done differently?

The only improvement we could suggest would be to expand their real-time reporting features for end-customer deliveries. While their system was excellent for tracking at the warehouse and distribution level, having more detailed analytics on the last mile could have given us even deeper insights into customer experience. That said, whenever we needed specific reports, their team was quick to generate and share them.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most about PNW Warehousing was their combination of flexibility, responsiveness, and deep logistical expertise. Unlike many 3PL providers that offer a one-size-fits-all approach, PNW took the time to understand our unique operational needs and tailored their services accordingly.

Their hands-on customer service really stood out — we always had direct access to decision-makers, and they treat our business like their own. Whether it was adjusting storage space on short notice or fast-tracking a shipment, they consistently went above and beyond to support us.

Additionally, their operational transparency and use of real-time tracking systems gave us full visibility into our inventory and fulfillment workflows. That level of accountability built a lot of trust.

In short, they’re not just a vendor — they’ve become a strategic extension of our supply chain team.
