Why Shoe Brands Choose 3PL Partners?
Footwear brands partner with 3PLs for different reasons depending on where they are in their journey. Some are growing fast and need capacity quickly. Others have been managing their own warehouse for years but realize they'd rather invest that capital and energy elsewhere. Common reasons brands outsource 3PL services:
- Strategic focus — Free up capital and management attention currently drained by fulfillment, and redirect them toward growth priorities like product development and retail expansion.
- Seasonal agility — Avoid the fixed cost of year-round warehouse space for inventory that only peaks part of the year.
- Scale without complexity — Add new channels and regions without the operational burden of managing international shipping, EDI, and marketplace integrations yourself.
- Enterprise technology — Access advanced warehouse management systems and automation through your 3PL's shared investment, avoiding major upfront costs.
- Built-in expertise — Gain immediate access to specialized knowledge in inventory and quality control that takes years to develop in-house.

How OpsEngine Implements Footwear Fulfillment
1
Inventory Audit and Planning Session
We look at your current inventory situation first. What's your SKU count across all sizes and styles? Which products move fastest? We dig into your business model, growth plans, and seasonal patterns. This isn't a quick phone call. The goal is understanding your specific needs before any inventory hits our warehouse.
2
System Integration and Testing
We connect our warehouse management system to your sales channels. Test orders run through to make sure everything talks to each other correctly. Your Shopify orders flow automatically. Amazon FBA prep happens seamlessly. Inventory counts update in real-time. We don't go live until everything works smoothly.
3
Receiving and Organization
Your first shipment arrives. We receive your inventory, verify counts against your shipping manifests, inspect for quality issues, and organize everything by style and size. Storage gets set up based on what moves fastest, high-velocity items go in easy-access locations while slower-moving stock goes in bulk storage. You get photos and reports of everything as it happens.
