Behind the Scenes: Our Move to a 3PL Partner πŸš›πŸ“¦

Hi there, Everyday Vegans! πŸ’š

I come bearing exciting behind-the-scenes updates about our recent move online. While many businesses keep such details hush-hush, we believe our journey is just as much yours. Your incredible support makes everything we do possible, so it’s only fair to keep you in the loop as we grow and scale our business for the benefit of everyone. 🌟

The Big Move: Transferring Stock 🚚

For the past three weeks, our team has been on a mission: transferring our stock from our own warehouse to a new third-party logistics (3PL) location. You might be wondering, what’s a 3PL? Simply put, a 3PL company manages storage, inventory, and transportation for other businesses. Our chosen 3PL is a top-tier company in Singapore, collaborating with leading supermarkets and gourmet grocers. Initially a fresh produce supplier, they expanded during COVID to support grocery and food distributors with cold chain logistics. Cool, right? πŸ₯Ά

Why Did We Make the Move? πŸ€”

Great question! Here are the top two reasons:

  1. Superior Cold Chain Logistics: Our 3PL partner specializes in cold chain management. They use trucks with three compartmentsβ€”frozen, chilled, and ambientβ€”all with real-time temperature tracking. This means your frozen and chilled goodies arrive in perfect condition. Thanks to this tech, we’ve already pinpointed areas for improvement, ensuring we serve you even better. πŸ₯Άβ„οΈπŸ“ˆ
  2. Scalability: Partnering with a 3PL allows us to handle larger volumes. This scalability is why we proudly introduced over 200+ new products in our July New Arrivals! πŸŽ‰ Managing such a large shipment would’ve been a Herculean task for our small team, but with our 3PL warehouse manager’s support, it was a breeze. πŸƒπŸ“¦

Overcoming Hiccups 🚧

No transition is without its bumps, and we’ve had a few hiccupsβ€”like wrongly picked groceries. Our new partners are still getting used to some of our unique vegan products. But don’t worry, we’re on it! We promise to compensate for any lost or damaged goods and fix any issues swiftly. πŸ‘πŸ’ͺ

Ongoing Transitions πŸ”„

The transition isn’t fully complete. Some products, like Bonsoy and Oatside, are still in negotiation stages with local vendors. We’re working hard to secure the best prices and logistics to pass on savings to you. One exciting update: we’re planning to offer bulk order savings without logistical delays, thanks to our increased storage space. More savings for you, less wait time! πŸ’Έβ³

Fresh Produce Challenges πŸ₯¬πŸŽ

Handling fresh produce cleanly and practically is another area we’re focusing on. We’re confident that we’ll refine our processes to meet your expectations soon. Stay tuned for more updates on this! πŸ‘€βœ¨

Building Strong Partnerships 🀝

Strong partnerships are built over time, and we’re committed to growing and improving our services for you. Your grocery deliveries are in excellent hands, and we’re excited about the future improvements this move will bring. πŸš€πŸ“ˆ
