Taylor’s foundation is built upon a rich 171-year history outstanding the test of time with the strict 1850 government regulations from their start to a global pandemic. They wouldn’t be where they are today if it weren’t for their ability to be agile, solutions seeking, and innovation-driven. Taylor continually evolves their services, quality program, and training from eCommerce distribution championed by their in-store design team to an entire brokerage department; they’ve continuously added services to their portfolio as their partner’s needs grow and change. Taylor has proven that they are not merely a vendor for their partners but an extension of their team with a clear understanding of their responsibility to replicate their client’s strategic business goals. Their client relationships don’t last one to two years; they are long-term with several that have been with Taylor for five-plus years and who don’t just use one Taylor service but multiple within the organization. In addition to Taylor services, when a client signs on with Taylor, they gain access to all their resources. Taylor has a great relationship with their warehouse management system provider Zethcon, Shorrs Packaging, who helps find new sustainable, cost-effective packaging options, and Pinnacle Data, so custom reporting is never an issue. If Taylor doesn’t have it, they have a portfolio of resources willing to help. When a business is over 170 years old like Taylor, it’s like that Farmers Insurance commercial, “They know a thing or two because they’ve seen a thing or two” no request or solution is too outlandish, and you can call on the team at any hour of the day.
Our matching process combines technology and personal consultation. First, you share your business requirements through our questionnaire. For complex needs, we schedule a brief call to understand your requirements in detail. Our team then analyzes your needs against our database of pre-vetted 3PLs and secures interest from appropriate providers. Only after confirming 3PL interest do we present these matches to you. You then select which 3PLs you'd like to connect with, creating a double opt-in process that ensures mutual interest before any introductions.
Yes, our matching service is completely free for businesses seeking 3PL partners. There's no catch - we're able to offer this service at no cost because we receive compensation from 3PLs when successful matches lead to partnerships. This model ensures we're incentivized to make quality matches that work for both parties.
Every 3PL in our network undergoes a rigorous vetting process. We evaluate their operational capabilities, technology infrastructure, financial stability, and client satisfaction rates. We continuously monitor performance metrics and regularly update our database. Only providers with proven track records remain in our network, ensuring you're connected with truly reliable partners.
To receive accurate recommendations, we need to understand your basic business requirements: product types and dimensions, monthly order volume, inventory storage needs, shipping destinations, special handling requirements, and budget constraints. The more details you provide, the more precisely we can match you with compatible 3PLs.
Our double opt-in matching process typically takes 3 - 5 business days from initial questionnaire to receiving your matched 3PLs. Most businesses select their preferred partner within 2 - 4 weeks after reviewing matches. The implementation timeline varies based on complexity, but typically ranges from 2 - 8 weeks. Our team provides guidance throughout this process to ensure a smooth transition.
