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.

Although we continue to grow our business services and our client base, we don’t always get to chat about it. So below is a list of things happening right now within Laney & Duke:

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
Q: What are three questions a shipper should ask a potential 3PL vendor?
A: I think you should always ask a potential 3PL vendor what their contingency and disaster recovery strategies are. It’s important to get an understanding of the types of redundancies that are offered in the event of a supply chain interruption. Secondly, ask for an understanding of where you rank in customer size within the 3PL’s current customer base. Often, this will dictate the level of attention the provider is able to give. And lastly, but equally as important, you should always ask for an explanation of the 3PL’s company culture. At MD Logistics, we have found that a match of cultures between our customer and us is paramount. Choosing a provider who shares the same values and passion is critical to the long term success of the relationship.
Q: When should shippers be more concerned about value-added services and less driven by rates?
A: Value-added services become pertinent when looking at the total cost of a supply chain decision. For example, if your product originates in China and needs to be reworked to provide additional value, you can easily return the product back to the factory in China, but the value-add of partnering with a 3PL provider who can do the re-work here in the U.S. has the potential to pay dividends. This especially becomes apparent in the race to be the first to market. In this situation, the ability to get product to market, quickly, can far outweigh the logistics need to save costs.
Q: What regions or countries are under served in trade yet offer potentially big growth for exporters?
A: When I think about the regions that have the greatest potential for growth, immediately my first thought is greater China. Even with the advances that have been made in logistics and transportation in this region during the past 10-15 years, there is still a huge opportunity. Currently, only one-fifth of the population is in the greater economy and while great strides have been made to serve the remaining part of the population, it is still such a vast area that we have just begun to scratch the surface.
I also think there is a huge opportunity for exporters in Africa. The entire continent is starting to develop and invest in infrastructure, making expansion there more feasible.
