DEERFIELD, Ill. and PASADENA, Calif., July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Connected
Commerce, Essendant's broad ecommerce, fulfillment and
third-party logistics (3PL) solution that formally launched in
June, is making its mark in the go-to market space as a
comprehensive service that helps brands with omnichannel solutions.
Recent customer successes not only demonstrate the company's range
of services but also its ability to quickly address changing
customer needs.
"We've always known that Connected Commerce had the power to
serve a multitude of marketplace solutions, and these recent
partnerships demonstrate that variety," said David Boone, Interim CEO of Essendant. "What
we're most proud of is our ability to understand the client and
their needs and tailor a solution to best fit those needs."
Recent partnerships with three companies highlight the varied
and flexible solutions that Connected Commerce offers:
- Meeting International Shipping Needs: Buster +
Punch, a British-based home lighting and accessories company, came
to Essendant looking for a domestic 3PL partner that could also
ship internationally. With Essendant, Buster + Punch has shipping
capabilities to over 50 countries globally and five different
continents.
- Meeting Rapid Growth: Chagrinovations, a consumer
goods invention company, needed a fulfillment partner that could
scale up quickly to accommodate new business with a leading
international retailer. Within five months, Essendant realigned one
of its West Coast distribution centers to handle and fulfill the
new influx of product, giving Chagrinovations the ability to ship
7.1M units for this new business and
positioning the company for 18-fold growth over a two-year
period.
- Meeting Today's Customer Delivery Expectations: An
indoor/outdoor furniture and fireplace company that had never
worked with a 3PL before, approached Essendant in need of East and
West Coast distribution capability. After partnering with
Essendant, the company decreased consumer delivery times by 1-3
days while also decreasing shipping costs.

Commerce helps drive visibility and proven sales growth
through:
- Integrations: A connection to most major
marketplaces, B2B platforms and webstores as well as nine of the
