Here is a picture from our paddle board account. We had to manually inflate all of the returned boards to determine if they could be sold as good inventory.

We provide order fulfilment to the clients needs. This is something we specialize in and is known as pick and pack or kitting as well. We can create a work flow to your requirements.
An example of our pick and pack service with one particular client is that we receive crates of boxes containing between 5-10 pieces of product in each in each box. Our customer requests us to ship everything from a single piece to multiple cases. We charge them to pick a single case, to pull a single piece of product, to wrap that product or case in bubble wrap, place that product into a case, apply a label to the box, band that box onto a pallet, and ship. From time to time, they request that we take photos of certain items.
This is order fulfilment

We are currently mid way through Hurricane season which the Carolinas know only too well after Hurricane Florence came ashore over their communities.
With that in mind, our parking lot and all available yard space is completely full of Owens Corning Roofing shingles as overflow for OC in anticipation of Hurricane season. Currently, we have around 6900 pallets on hand and load/unload approximately 20 flatbed trailers each day.

At Laney Duke we are heading into the holiday season, which means more volume and more deliveries to Amazon beginning the first week of October though the end of January.
Several customers increase their inventory levels within our facilities in anticipation of increased sales. This requires routine meetings to discuss ways to creatively maximize our space to accommodate current customers and address new business as well.
Laney & Duke work with Amazon to store and fulfil orders. We also fulfil orders and offer pick n pack services to businesses just like yours.
As e-commerce continues to grow at its rapid clip, supply chain and logistics changes and developments will continue. Customer expectations and competition from e-commerce are driving widespread changes to warehousing and distribution operations. Direct-to-consumer growth is not only affecting retailers, but also manufacturers, wholesalers, and 3PLs. Warehouses and warehouse fulfillment operations are increasingly playing a greater role in commerce due to disintermediation and a reduction in retail sales through stores.
On top of that, the relationship between retailers and upstream partners is changing, as wholesalers have increased their presence in retail and retailers have pushed direct-to-consumer responsibilities back onto their suppliers. As a result, warehouse footprints are expanding, responsiveness and adaptability have become more important, parcel shipping has grown, and labor efficiency remains as important as ever.
Laney & Duke can provide an E-Commerce distribution solution for your business in Jacksonville, Florida. Give us a call to learn how we can help you maximize the efficiency of your operation.
The road to Third-Party Logistics – It doesn’t matter what name you adopt from that trendy business management blog you follow, simply deploying a lean concept to drive your supply chain function is probably not enough… you also need flexibility.
An agile approach to supply chain helps the team respond to the unpredictability of today’s business world and the individualized demands of customers. Lean identifies and eliminates waste, which is a very good thing. It reduces unnecessary costs, speeds deliveries, and brings everyone together in the constant search for improved efficiency. Anything that doesn’t add value to the supply chain function is out the door at a lean and agile operation. But when the company combines agile with lean, it adds reassurance for customers that the supply chain can adapt and handle new products and deliveries with speed and flexibility. That’s an improved service that customers will appreciate and pay a premium to acquire.
No one wants to see product sitting in the warehouse. It needs to be on the sales floor or delivered to the customer to be profitable. Again, this is not a new concept. But to keep moving to where it needs to be when it needs to be there, the supply chain can’t rely on just lean or agility, it needs both.
With this “both” notion in mind, it brings the supply chain function from only supply all the way back to the manufacturing of product. Agility starts from the legs of the organization, much like a highly agile athlete…it’s all in the lower body!
The agile mindset, once fully implemented has the potential to bring the organization together from top to bottom as long as good communication is in place from the production operation through to final, last-mile delivery to the user.
This requires more people talking and working together. It can be done, and it not only supports the company’s goals, it delivers to today’s omni-channel customers who buy from many different devices and in every physical location imaginable.
If your company is really good at building a quality widget, putting together a Lean, agile supply chain probably sounds like entirely new business that needs to be started. So the real task at hand here is finding the right subcontractor to handle the job and make it a reality.
Now, it’s time to work with a third-party logistics provider. The good news for your business lies in the fact that you know your customer, when and where they expect delivery and how much all of this should cost. Take that knowledge into the meeting with a potential third-party logistics partner to get customized services.
