What cookware brands need from a fulfillment partner
Shipping heavy cookware without inflating costs
Dense, oversized pots and pans can quickly increase shipping costs when all inventory is stored in a single warehouse. To protect your margins, partner with a fulfillment provider that can distribute inventory across different countries or regions, automate replenishment between locations, and leverage ShipBob’s Inventory Placement Program in the US to lower average shipping zones and costs.
Managing complex skus and omnichannel demand
Cookware catalogs often include sets, lids, and add-on tools sold across multiple channels, making inventory management challenging. Look for a fulfillment partner with technology that provides real-time inventory visibility across DTC channels, marketplaces, and B2B/EDI orders, and supports virtual bundles so you can scale without overselling or overstocking.
Delivering a premium brand experience at the doorstep
Premium kitchen shoppers expect a memorable unboxing — with branded boxes, recipe cards, and seasonal inserts included. Choose a fulfillment partner with customization capabilities that stores branded packaging as SKUs and applies rule-based inserts automatically, ensuring a consistent, high-end experience for every customer.
Navigating gift-season with ease
Holiday gifting can dramatically increase order volume. Seek analytics-driven fulfillment that helps you keep up with demand, flexes labor as needed, and enables you to pre-position inventory before the rush, so you never miss a sales opportunity.
Fulfilling retail pos and dtc orders from a unified inventory pool
Big-box retail purchase orders and daily DTC orders often run through separate systems, leading to inventory blind spots. Select a 3PL that supports EDI-compliant retail distribution and retail dropshipping (in the US) and DTC fulfillment from the same inventory pool, so every channel stays accurate and efficient.
Launching limited-edition colors and collaborations quickly
Limited-edition colors and influencer collaborations need to go live across all channels fast to capture demand. Partner with a provider that offers quick receiving, easy-to-use catalog tools, and automatic channel syncs, enabling you to launch new SKUs and have orders delivered when ready and your customers need them.
ShipBob’s fulfillment solutions that cookware brands care about
ShipBob’s fulfillment network is built for the unique needs of cookware brands—heavy items, fragile packaging, and seasonal demand spikes. Here’s how our 3PL makes it easier.
Distributed inventory network
ShipBob helps brands distribute inventory across multiple fulfillment centers, bringing products closer to customers. By leveraging our Inventory Placement Program (in the US), you can automatically balance stock across key regions based on demand, reduce your average shipping zone and transit time, and help keep shipping costs in check for heavy, dense items.
Our analytics and replenishment tools make it easy to optimize stock levels and automate restocking, so you can deliver even the heaviest orders efficiently and affordably.
Unified inventory management
ShipBob’s platform seamlessly syncs inventory across all your sales channels, giving you real-time visibility and control over every SKU and bundle. Effortlessly manage complex catalogs and virtual bundles while preventing overselling or overstocking (and manual work).
With automated order routing and robust integrations, you can confidently scale your omnichannel strategy and keep your bestsellers in stock.
Branded unboxing at scale
Deliver a memorable, premium unboxing experience with ShipBob’s Customization Suite. Clients can provide their own custom branded packaging and ShipBob will store and manage them as SKUs.
You can also easily store and manage marketing inserts and even print inserts and gift notes on demand, ensuring every order is packed with the right materials and personal touches.
Peak season scalability
ShipBob’s fulfillment network and technology are built to handle surges in order volume, whether from holiday gifting, registry spikes, or viral product drops. With real-time inventory insights, automated replenishment recommendations, and the capacity to handle increased demand, your brand can confidently meet customer expectations during the busiest seasons.
Our data-driven forecasting and automated inventory placement in the US ensure your bestsellers are always in the right place, so you can capture every opportunity without missing a beat.
Unified inventory for retail and DTC orders
ShipBob helps brands fulfill both retail purchase orders and direct-to-consumer orders from one inventory pool. With robust EDI integrations (for US-based retail partners), automated order management, and real-time inventory sync across all channels, you gain complete visibility and control.
This unified approach ensures inventory accuracy, reduces costly errors, and keeps every sales channel running smoothly — so you can scale confidently across retail and ecommerce.
Rapid SKU launches
ShipBob provides fast, flexible tools for launching new products and collaborations. Quickly add new SKUs and variants — like limited-edition colors or influencer collaborations — individually or in bulk across channels.
With automatic channel integrations and a robust fulfillment network, ShipBob can work with your team on the timing to ensure your latest drops are delivered when they are ready and your customers need them, so you never miss a moment of momentum.
