We provide detailed breakdowns of warehousing, pick-and-pack, and shipping fees, avoiding hidden charges. Our approach allows us to customize solutions that align with your growth trajectory, whether you're experiencing seasonal peaks or consistent expansion. We aim to provide competitive rates that support your profitability while delivering premium service, making us an ideal partner for mid-market companies looking for predictable and manageable logistics expenses.
We understand the urgency of getting your products to market efficiently. Asfar Distribution prides itself on an expedited and streamlined onboarding process, often enabling clients to go live within 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity of your inventory and integration requirements. Our dedicated account managers guide you through every step, from initial setup and inventory receiving to system integration and order processing. This rapid deployment ensures minimal disruption to your operations, allowing you to quickly leverage our same-day and next-day fulfillment capabilities and focus on your core business growth.
Asfar Distribution leverages modern technology to seamlessly integrate with a wide array of leading eCommerce platforms and sales channels, including Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and Amazon. Our robust Warehouse Management System (WMS) ensures real-time inventory synchronization, automated order import, and efficient tracking updates. This comprehensive integration capability minimizes manual data entry, reduces errors, and accelerates your order fulfillment cycle, providing you with complete visibility and control over your logistics operations. We continuously update our integrations to support the evolving needs of our diverse client base.
Operating from our strategic Houston, Texas location, Asfar Distribution provides extensive geographic coverage across the United States and internationally. Our central position allows for efficient ground shipping to major population centers, often reaching customers within 1-5 business days. We partner with major carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL to offer a range of shipping options, including expedited services. Our commitment to 'unmatched speed' means we prioritize same-day and next-day fulfillment for orders received by our cut-off times, ensuring your customers receive their products quickly and reliably, enhancing their satisfaction.
While larger 3PLs like Speed Commerce offer broad services, Asfar Distribution distinguishes itself through a highly personalized and agile approach, particularly beneficial for mid-market businesses. We offer dedicated account management, ensuring you have a single point of contact deeply familiar with your specific needs, fostering stronger partnerships than often found with larger, more generalized providers. Our 'unmatched speed' with same-day/next-day fulfillment and transparent, flexible pricing models provide a level of responsiveness and cost-efficiency that larger operations may struggle to match. We combine robust capabilities with the personalized attention of a growth-focused partner.
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.
