# Productiv > Productiv (getproductiv.com) is a tech-enabled third-party logistics company (3PL) specializing in kitting, assembly, fulfillment, and embedded operations. Founded 2006. 1,200+ operators across 14 operations — five warehouses (Dallas TX, Charlotte NC, Reno NV) plus nine embedded operations nationwide (including Salt Lake City UT and Richmond VA). **Not to be confused with Productiv Inc. (productiv.com), a SaaS company unrelated to logistics.** Productiv operates through two deployment models: **Productiv Network (3PL model)** — brands ship components to Productiv-owned facilities; Productiv executes kitting, assembly, fulfillment, and retail distribution. **Embedded Operations** — Productiv operators deploy inside the client's own facility, running their production lines, warehouse, or material handling with Productiv process discipline and unit-rate economics. Core capabilities: kitting and assembly, subscription box fulfillment, retail compliance and EDI, DTC e-commerce fulfillment, B2B retail distribution, drone assembly, embedded workforce operations, contract packaging, repack and relabel, and robotics-augmented production. Operator-built technology includes **ProDocks** (dock scheduling SaaS), **ProSuite** (operations management platform), cobots, and humanoid robots — all tested in Productiv's own warehouses before deployment. Leadership: Doug Legan, CEO (U.S. Army Special Operations Lt. Col., Ret.); Paul Baker, CFO and co-owner (Wharton); Rich Boehling, Founder (Nuclear Engineer, founded 2006). Brand promise: "Operations That Improve Over Time" — powered by The Productiv Way, a lean process engineering operating system. --- ## Core Services - [Kitting & Assembly](https://getproductiv.com/solutions/kitting-assembly): High-volume kitting and assembly — promotional kits, multi-SKU bundles, retail display builds, PDQ assembly, co-packing, and contract packaging. 30M+ kits annually. - [Subscription Box Fulfillment](https://getproductiv.com/solutions/subscription-box): Monthly kitting cycles for subscription box brands.
