// What we run

Outdoor gear fulfillment programs we run in Dallas

Dick's Sporting Goods POs

Dick's requires thermal transfer case labels, so we bought a specialty printer to meet the spec. Our Dick's label templates and EDI setup are already built.

“The larger 3PLs are less flexible, have longer contracts, longer engagements. I've worked with some of the smaller ones, but they don't offer the suite of services or the geographic reach.”

John Toler, CEO, Evergreen Enterprises

“We get a lot of requests from large retailers. Productiv's willingness to accommodate work from us and have awesome communication is really what makes them a head above other people we've talked to.”

Transcript

HostWhat's unique about what we do here at Productiv is that under one roof we have both DTC and B2B, especially major retailer distribution. So Amy, could you talk a little bit about what we've got staged here?

AmyCurrently we have staged orders from [inaudible]. We also have TJ Maxx, Marshalls, various retailers [inaudible]. We also do international shipping, [inaudible], Dick's Sporting Goods, and Amazon, Target, Walmart — retailers of that nature.

HostAnd I think what's unique is, when you ship to over 100 retailers a week, each is a little bit different. So could you talk a little bit about what makes a retailer different and what we have to look out for on every shipment?

AmyWe have retailers that come in through API as well as EDI. In order to follow EDI compliance, that's when we enlist the help of our tech teams and our compliance teams. We go through every one of the routing guides. We design the unique UCC-128 labels to be in compliance with those routing guides. These are approved by the client, in compliance with each routing guide that is deemed necessary by the retailers.
