Airhouse offers a flexible, a la carte pricing model designed to provide cost transparency and scalability for growing DTC brands. Unlike traditional enterprise 3PLs with complex, bundled fees, Airhouse allows you to pay only for the services you need. This approach helps businesses manage costs effectively as they scale, ensuring that pricing aligns directly with operational usage and avoids hidden charges. Our goal is to provide clear, predictable billing that supports your growth without unexpected expenses.
Airhouse integrates seamlessly with leading eCommerce platforms, including a strong native integration with Shopify, which is crucial for many direct-to-consumer brands. Our proprietary software platform is designed to provide a centralized hub for managing your fulfillment operations, offering robust control and visibility. This technology stack ensures efficient order processing, inventory management, and data synchronization across your sales channels, streamlining your logistics workflow and reducing manual effort.
Airhouse prioritizes an efficient and supportive onboarding process to get your operations up and running swiftly. We provide a dedicated Account Manager who guides you through every step, from initial setup to inventory transfer and system integration. Our streamlined approach is designed to minimize disruption to your business, allowing you to transition smoothly and begin fulfilling orders with Airhouse in a timely manner. The exact timeline can vary based on your specific needs and inventory volume.
Airhouse leverages a managed network of strategically located warehouses across the United States, enabling us to offer comprehensive shipping coverage and competitive transit times. This distributed network allows for optimized shipping routes, reducing delivery times and costs for your customers. Additionally, through our partnership with SEKO Logistics, Airhouse extends its capabilities to international fulfillment, helping DTC brands expand their reach globally and serve customers worldwide with efficient cross-border shipping solutions.
Airhouse differentiates itself from providers like ShipBob by offering a more personalized and flexible fulfillment experience tailored for growing DTC brands. While ShipBob provides a standardized service, Airhouse emphasizes dedicated account management, custom solutions, and a managed warehouse network that adapts to your specific needs. Our proprietary software offers enhanced control and visibility, and our a la carte pricing model aims for greater transparency. This approach ensures that you receive hands-on support and scalable solutions designed to evolve with your business, providing a more collaborative partnership.
Third-party logistics (3PL) refers to outsourcing supply chain activities—such as transportation, warehousing, inventory management, and order fulfillment—to an external provider.
By leveraging 3PL services, businesses focus on their core competencies while professionals manage the logistics.
Here’s how 3PL integrates into your supply chain:
Inventory Storage: Products are stored in a 3PL-managed warehouse.
Order Processing: Once an order is placed, the 3PL picks and packs items.
Shipping: The 3PL partners with carriers to ensure prompt delivery.
Returns Management: Customer returns are processed efficiently to maintain satisfaction.
Cost Savings: Eliminates the need to own or lease warehouses.
Scalability: Supports seasonal spikes and growth without infrastructure investment.
Expertise: Access to advanced technology and optimized processes.
