Aqua Vault Saves Over 40% on Warehousing Fees with the Help of WarehousingAndFulfillment.com

A few years ago Robert Peck, Jonathan Kinas, and Avin Samtani were chasing the money working for very prominent companies. They were the type of positions that most people would envy, but something just didn’t feel quite right. They had the secret urge to open up a company of their own – and when the opportunity presented itself, they jumped in with both feet.

The entrepreneurial dream began when they took a trip to one of the finest hotels in South Beach. The group decided to spend some time swimming, and reluctantly hid their belongings under their towels and in their shoes. Literally only a few feet away the whole time, and constantly looking over their shoulders someone still managed to steal all their stuff. Their worst vacation nightmare had come true. And while the pain of the lost possessions stung, there was a far greater silver lining that they didn’t expect – it became the inspiration for the new company. After all, they thought, “There should be something you can put your values into so you can lock them up and go for a swim.”

After a search revealed that such a product didn’t exist, the Aqua Vault was born. Robert, Johnathan, and Avin invented a PATENTED PORTABLE BEACH SAFE called the Aqua Vault. The Aqua Vault attaches to your lounge chair and locks on with a 3 digit personal combination lock. Aqua Vault is being used at hotels, resorts and beaches around the world!

Success Brings Challenges

Robert and his team had no idea of the success that they would achieve early on in the business. The company has been featured on NBC’s The Today Show, Fox News, HSN, ABC’s Secret Sales and more. Furthermore, the company currently sells over 100 countries all over the world – a very impressive feat for three friends who created this company entirely on their own.

But success hasn’t come without its own set of challenges. In particular, the company had some issues with its logistics processes. Like many growing companies, Aqua Vault uses an outsourced strategy for their warehousing and fulfillment operations. Unfortunately, their fulfillment center was expensive, unorganized, and lacked any sort of technological integration. The company had to manually send emails asking for tracking information– which would come back in random emails, making customer service close to impossible. Furthermore, Robert and his team received vague invoices with no breakdown.

The Fulfillment Solution

The team at Aqua Vault knew first hand how difficult it was to select a fulfillment company. In the beginning, the company that was giving them loads of trouble promised and assured them that they would do a good job. In fact, this is what almost every fulfillment company is going to tell you in the beginning. So, they thought, how can they be assured that the company they select will do what they promise and actually perform up to standards at a reasonable cost?

One day, while surfing the web, Robert stumbled upon WarehousingAndFulfillment.com. Intrigued by the thought of being able to provide some brief information and get intelligently connected with companies that were thoroughly screened, he completed a request and was matched with several quality firms. Ultimately, he ended up selecting one of the connections.

The Results Speak for Themselves

With its new fulfillment company, Aqua Vault has realized over 40% savings on warehouse and fulfillment fees and shipping costs. In addition, the company now easily fulfills web orders automatically. They get detailed invoices with full breakdowns and have access to a web based system that has all the order features, inventory breakdowns, and tracking information they could ever need. Robert and his team are also working with the fulfillment company by continually searching for shipping discounts to reduce costs even further.

Finding the Right Fulfillment Partner Goodbye Crutches’ Growing eCommerce Business

The wonder of eCommerce is that it allows customers throughout the world to find your product day or night.  The ugly reality is that when that customer reaches the check out page they want two things:  They want it fast and they want free shipping.  Both are the number one reason for shopping cart abandonment.  Fail to meet either condition and you risk loosing the sale either to another website or a brick and mortar retailer that can provide faster availability.

Our niche direct to consumer medical products company was forced to expand from a regional player to a national provider.  Our customers would take their crutch alternatives with them on vacation.  Where they went, the call and orders followed.   Due to the size and associated dimensional weight of the product, air shipments were prohibitively costly.  Ground shipments while reasonably priced could take up to four business days from our Midwest location.  For patients struggling with the pain and limitations of crutches this was an eternity.  To continue to expand our business we needed to address this real logistical constraint.

As we searched for a fulfillment partner on the internet we were met with frustration.  The 3PL companies that ranked highest in Google were on page 1 for a reason:  They were big.  It was clear that they were not interested in small accounts by their responses.  Multi-year contracts, expensive set up fees, minimum shipment, minimum floor space and the need add expensive software to transmit orders all scared us away.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, there were many companies that claimed to do 3PL in addition to their core business.  What it was in reality was an attempt for them to fill empty warehouse space and provide an additional revenue stream in a down economy.  Questioning them about their process proved we could not count on them to provide our level of service our customers.

After months of dead ends that educated us what we could not accept and what we could not afford, we stumbled across WarehousingAndFulfillment.com, an easy to use online service that looked at our specific needs and gave us a quick quote of 5 potential fulfillment partners that potentially met our needs.  Beyond a simple matching service between eCommerce companies and 3PL providers, they had pre-screen the warehouses.  All the discussions with the potential partners were efficient, informative and addressed our needs.  Finally, we had choices instead of frustration. Within days we had chosen our partner and our product was on a truck headed for them.

We’ve now used the WarehousingAndFulfillment.com services 3 times as we’ve added additional 3PL partners throughout the US.  Clearly they have been a key resource for us in harnessing the incredible potential of eCommerce.  Now no matter where in the US the customer finds us, we can deliver to them in just 1 to 2 business days with free ground shipping.
