Over the years, we have established a reliable, nationwide network of carriers who can execute against time-sensitive retail fulfillment and direct store delivery (DSD) needs. We understand that fast-turning product needs to be restocked frequently, and if a delivery is missed, so are sales. Zipline’s dedication to providing world class customer service means we keep our promises, don’t drop orders, and offer proactive solutions when issues arise to keep your valuable freight in motion.
CPG Logistics Services for Suppliers
As competition from e-commerce has intensified, retailers have tightened their vendor requirements and chargeback programs to prevent against costly out-of-stocks. Unfortunately, if you deliver product late, incurred fees can cost your company thousands of dollars. Additionally, in a 2019 survey, 73% of retail buyers shared that they have ended vendor relationships over such delivery issues.
Our retail-minded operations experts and service-first culture can help CPG manufacturers consistently meet delivery standards and establish optimal communication systems with buyers. Getting your time-critical shipments where they need to be is our top priority. We help brands ace their buyer agreements and prevent against costly retail vendor chargebacks by delivering on-time, in-full, and with preferred carriers.
