Fulfillment solutions
Merrin A
"In need of a storage and logistics company that could take on our rapid growth we reached out to Innovative Warehouse Solutions. It has been a lifesaver to have IWS getting our organization's product out the door while simultaneously taking the time to learn about our products. They are always willing to work with us to fine tune the reports we would like to be able to view and they have tirelessly worked some late days to get product to our customers. Managing inventory, Warehouse process and being able to plan for the future has become much more efficient with the logistical expertise (adaptability, calmness, problem solving honesty, and improvement planning) of IWS."
3PL VS. IN-HOUSE
When Does a 3PL Beat In-House Fulfillment?
A 3PL beats in-house fulfillment once its fees cost less than the people, space and software to ship the same orders yourself. At 300 orders a month, with 6 pallets and 40 bins stored, IWS charges about $1,254 before postage ($4.18 an order). One hand packer alone earns a median $36,280 a year (BLS, May 2025). IWS works with brands doing $1M or more a year and shipping 300+ orders a month.
Focus on Growth, Not Shipping
When you hand over shipping to experts, you free up time to grow your business. This shift means you can focus on product development, marketing, and sales instead of packing boxes.
Cut Shipping Costs
IWS ships on negotiated carrier rates, passes them through without markup, and rate-shops every parcel. Clients save an average of 17% on shipping after switching.
Happier Customers
Fast, accurate shipping creates happy customers who come back again. IWS has a 99.98% order accuracy rate, which means fewer mistakes and better customer reviews for your business.
Scale Without Stress
When your orders double or triple, IWS adds the space and staff, not you. You can add storage at any time during your contract and reduce it at your next renewal.
Sarah Chen
"IWS changed everything for our team. We used to spend so many hours packing boxes instead of doing our real jobs. Now our products get to customers faster, and we pay less for shipping too! The best part? Customers are happier, and almost no products arrive damaged anymore. We finally had time to create new products that now bring in a huge chunk of our sales. Working with IWS was the push our company needed to grow."

"Shipping glass bottles without breaking them was our biggest headache. We tried everything but still had so many broken products. Then we found IWS. They cut our damage rate to almost nothing with their special packaging. They even helped us ship to states we couldn't reach before. The money we save on each package adds up fast! Last holiday season was our busiest ever, but for the first time, we weren't stressed. Every order went out on time, even when we had three times more than before."
STEP BY STEP
How Does 3PL Fulfillment Work at IWS?
3PL fulfillment at IWS runs in four steps, and most clients are fully live within 2 to 3 weeks of signing, with no onboarding fee. It works the same whether you are moving out of your own warehouse or storing products for the first time.
First, we record your products with details like name, dimensions, weight, and special instructions. This helps us manage your inventory with high accuracy.
You ship your products to our warehouse with detailed info. We'll guide you on how to pack, label, and ship your items correctly.
Your items arrive at IWS and we record each product in our inventory system. We check product details and quality to make sure nothing is damaged.
We link your online store to our system so orders flow directly to us. We pick and pack each order, choose the best shipping option and send tracking to your customer, with same-day shipping on orders in by 11 AM EST.

Tanya Rodriguez
"When our subscribers jumped from a thousand to nearly four thousand, we couldn't keep up. IWS stepped in and saved us. They took over in just two weeks and kept the special unboxing feel our customers love. Their system helps us know exactly what products to buy, so we don't waste money on extra inventory. Our customer service team doesn't get flooded with 'where's my box' emails anymore. We've grown way bigger now, and we didn't need to hire a single new person to handle all the shipping."
