How do you differentiate between Alcohol 3PL Service providers?
There are several key differentiators that alcohol fulfilment 3PL suppliers can offer to their clients. Not all are created equal and you need to find a supplier that relates to your brand values, your order processing volumes now and your future.
- Licenses and Compliance: One of the most important differentiators is having the necessary licenses and certifications to handle alcohol fulfilment. This includes personal and premises alcohol licenses and compliance with UK trading laws and regulations related to the sale and distribution of alcohol. It is a legal requirement to be licensed to sell alcohol, but a premises license enables us as your 3PL to store your alcoholic goods securely, safely and process your orders correctly.
- Inventory Management: An alcohol fulfilment 3PL supplier like CBF should be able to handle the inventory management of their client’s products, including tracking inventory levels, managing orders, and ensuring that products are shipped out in a timely and efficient manner. All our online tools you have full access to. You will be able to see live inventory data for all SKUs, from individual bottles to cases and pallets all logged.
- Customized Solutions: We know different clients have different needs, and we think your alcohol fulfilment 3PL supplier should be able to provide customised solutions to meet their client’s unique requirements. This could include special packaging, labelling, or shipping requirements. Talk to us and we can work together to make a success of your alcohol brand.
- Technology: The use of technology is essential for efficient and accurate alcohol fulfilment. A 3PL supplier should have robust technology solutions that enable them to track inventory, manage orders, and provide real-time visibility into the status of shipments.
- Customer Service: Providing excellent customer service is key to building strong relationships with clients. An alcohol fulfilment 3PL supplier should have a dedicated Client Service Team that is responsive and knowledgeable and can provide support when needed. You can reach multiple levels of our business anytime from Support tickets to phone, email and even live chat.
- Experience: An experienced 3PL supplier will have a deep understanding of the alcohol fulfilment industry, including the challenges and opportunities that come with it. Our expertise helps our clients navigate regulatory requirements, optimise their supply chain, and ultimately grow their businesses. We have worked with hundreds of alcohol brands from wine, beer, tequila, rum, gin, whisky, mezcal, vodka, RTD drinks, cocktails and subscription models. Talk to us anytime about how we can help each other. Without your success, we have none.
