But managing two projects, commuting to two labs, and working 10-hour days had started to take its toll.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She started experiencing chronic fatigue, developed generalized anxiety, and had trouble sleeping. Even after she got her schedule back to normal, the symptoms persisted \u2013 so she knew she had to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having grown up with a mother who taught her about holistic wellness, Nadine began researching herbal and botanical solutions to her health issues. Soon, she discovered adaptogens: plant substances found in herbs and mushrooms that help balance hormones and manage stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She began incorporating two different adaptogens \u2013 Ashwagandha and Reishi \u2013 in her own diet. Sure enough, after three or four weeks of consistent use, her symptoms completely disappeared. Nadine then knew she was onto something that could help not just her, but millions of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nadine started Peak and Valley to share her knowledge and solutions with the world. Since launching in 2019, the brand has grown through major retail channels and is currently available in 4,000 brick-and-mortar stores across the US.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sat down with Nadine to discuss how ShipBob\u2019s EDI-automated B2B solution has enabled Peak and Valley to save time, improve accuracy, and prepare to scale to the next level.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Finding-the-right-wholesale\">Finding the right wholesale fulfilment partner as a retail-first brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As told to ShipBob by Nadine Joseph, Founder &amp; CEO of Peak and Valley.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started Peak and Valley, we initially sold direct-to-consumer \u2013 but the dawn of iOS 14 and the rising costs of direct acquisition online meant DTC channels weren\u2019t performing as well. Then, Whole Foods reached out to us, and we started selling our products in their stores. This turned out to be much more profitable for us, so we pivoted to focus on B2B channels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a retail-first brand, working with CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Kroger, and Whole Foods to stock our supplements on their shelves, 95% of our business comes through retail channels. The downside to this reality was finding a fulfilment strategy that could handle our B2B volume.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"226\" width=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/08\/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b-e1692396148714-700x226.png?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9908\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/08\/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b-e1692396148714-700x226.png?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/08\/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b-e1692396148714-700x226.png?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/08\/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b-e1692396148714-700x226.png?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/08\/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b-e1692396148714-700x226.png?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/08\/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b-e1692396148714-700x226.png?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I started off fulfilling B2B orders myself out of my own little warehouse in Seattle, but soon became aware of&nbsp; how extremely challenging it is to manage a warehouse. It would take me hours to input all the data for every B2B order. I quickly discovered that was not for me, and that I wanted to focus on the product and sales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So after a year, we closed our warehouse and started working with a small 3PL based out of Utah \u2013 but that didn\u2019t help, either. They weren&#8217;t familiar with a lot of the retailers that we were working with, so we had to educate them on B2B fulfilment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With our former small 3PL, we experienced tons of fulfilment errors, simply because they weren\u2019t versed in the complexities of retailer compliance and routing guidelines. Plus, they only had a single facility in Utah, whereas most of our retail partners had a lot of their distribution centres on the East Coast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t long before we knew we needed a new solution \u2013 one that had a widespread network of locations all across the US, and plenty of retail experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Starting-with-ShipBobs-B2B\">Starting with ShipBob&#8217;s B2B solution in just 3 days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@peakandvalleyco\/video\/7196331089953049899\" data-video-id=\"7196331089953049899\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@peakandvalleyco\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@peakandvalleyco?refer=embed\">@peakandvalleyco<\/a> <p>Coffee but make it functional with adaptogens. \u2615\ufe0f\ud83d\udcab &#8211; @mixedgo <a title=\"adaptogens\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/adaptogens?refer=embed\">#adaptogens<\/a> <a title=\"herbal\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/herbal?refer=embed\">#herbal<\/a> <a title=\"herbalallies\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/herbalallies?refer=embed\">#herbalallies<\/a> <a title=\"cognitivehealth\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/cognitivehealth?refer=embed\">#cognitivehealth<\/a> <a title=\"brainhealth\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/brainhealth?refer=embed\">#brainhealth<\/a> <a title=\"herbalwellness\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/herbalwellness?refer=embed\">#herbalwellness<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Peak and Valley - Peak and Valley\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-Peak-and-Valley-7196331089131047723?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Peak and Valley &#8211; Peak and Valley<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Ironically, I discovered ShipBob by reading a case study like this one! It was all about how a brand leveraged ShipBob\u2019s retail distribution and fulfilment solutions to grow, even working with some of the same retailers we work with. So I thought, \u201cIf ShipBob is a good fit for them, they\u2019ll probably be a good fit for us, too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only had three weeks to move my inventory out of my old 3PL\u2019s facility, so speed to onboard was a huge factor in my deciding process. Turns out, I didn&#8217;t even need that amount of time with ShipBob \u2013 I onboarded my six SKUs with ShipBob in about three days.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose the self-onboarding option that ShipBob offers, and I loved how easy the process was. I did it completely on my own. I didn&#8217;t have to engage any sort of rep or anything, because it was super straightforward.

We just started selling on Amazon, but it\u2019s already so much easier to manage with this feature. With the FBA prep automation, we don&#8217;t have to lift a finger outside of submitting the inventory transfer request in the ShipBob dashboard. Then ShipBob handles retrieving all of the box and shipping labels from Amazon Seller Central through the direct integration.
