Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

OOTB #44 | Zip Code as Strategy: How Smart Brands Pick Their 3PL Location
Q: What metrics should brands monitor to evaluate their geographic footprint?
Track acquisition costs by market, shipping costs per market, and the total logistics cost per order versus the average order value. Also monitor retailer relationships, in-market service levels, and the ability to service the market from within the country to avoid duty and tax friction and improve CX.
OOTB #44 | Zip Code as Strategy: How Smart Brands Pick Their 3PL Location
Q: What are the key factors brands should consider when weighing multi-location against delivery speed?
Brands should compare the cost and speed implications of different regions, consider whether to service retailers from specific hubs, and assess the in-market presence to boost speed to customers. They should also weigh the added complexity and cost of managing multiple 3PLs and the need to maintain a consistent customer experience across regions.
OOTB #44 | Zip Code as Strategy: How Smart Brands Pick Their 3PL Location
Q: What is geographic 3PL strategy, and what should someone new to the concept know about it?
Geographic 3PL strategy is about aligning inventory locations with where customers live and where retailers are, to reduce transit time and costs while improving service. It involves choosing between single-node versus multi-node fulfillment based on SKU count, order volume, and target delivery speed, and it emphasizes analyzing orders by state, population, and retail relationships to determine optimal locations.
OOTB #43 | Caught in the Middle: The 3PL Cash Flow Trap
Q: What ROI should 3PLs expect when adopting FinTech tools?
Braden argues the ROI comes from transparent pricing, captured data, and reduced adjustments; early adoption can save millions by surfacing dollars left on the table and enabling better cash management.
OOTB #43 | Caught in the Middle: The 3PL Cash Flow Trap
Q: How does the rechargeable wallet meter work and why is it a game changer?
The meter pre-funds postage credits (and now supports other carriers) so brands and 3PLs can transact in real time, reducing the risk of cash shortfalls after big shipping days, while enabling net terms and scalable growth.
