// What we ship

Retail orders we ship from Dallas

Our B2B retail distribution runs from case-pick zones, with every case scanned against the PO at pick, pack and load.

Case packs and pallets

Cases palletized to each retailer's ti-hi, stacking and wrapping rules.

Mixed-SKU POs

Mixed pallets built to the PO, so shortages get caught here and not at the retailer's dock.

“We are hitting all the SLAs over and over again. Productiv has led the charge and brought so many improvements to the table over the last two years. There's nothing glaring that stands out anymore and now we are just fine tuning.”

Kelli Overson, EVP of Operations, Pourri

“Productiv has a very good team on our account, they've made it run very smooth, and they've done it pretty flawlessly. That's very big for me because I do production planning and transportation so for it to go smooth from beginning to end is really important for my job.”

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.
