3PL for 7 Day-a-week Omnichannel Fulfillment: Tech-driven. FDA-registed. ISO-certified.
Apparel fulfillment lives or dies on SKU depth. One style becomes forty pickable units once you multiply size by color, and every one of them has to be tracked, picked, and restocked correctly. We manage size and color variant matrices in Manhattan WMS, handle returns and exchanges at the volume apparel actually generates, and support the polybagging, tagging, and retail-ready prep wholesale accounts require.
One apparel style is never one SKU. A single shirt in eight sizes and five colors is forty pickable units, each needing its own bin location, its own inventory count, and its own replenishment trigger. Add a second colorway mid-season and you have added another eight.
Brands routinely discover their 3PL cannot handle this when the mispicks start. A medium ships instead of a large, a customer returns it, and the cost of that single error runs three to five times the original pick. At apparel volumes, a fractional accuracy problem becomes a margin problem quickly.
Jay Group manages size and color variant matrices in Manhattan WMS with bin-level control and barcode verification at pick and pack. Order accuracy holds at 99.9%, measured continuously.
Apparel carries the highest return rate in ecommerce. Depending on category, twenty to forty percent of units come back. Your 3PL’s returns operation is not a support function in this category, it is half the business.
We process apparel returns with condition-based inspection, disposition rules you define, and restock timing that gets sellable units back into available inventory fast. Exchange fulfillment runs in the same workflow, so when a customer swaps a large for a medium, the outbound ships without waiting for the inbound to clear.
We integrate with Loop Returns, Two Boxes, and Refundid, so your returns platform and your physical returns operation stay in sync automatically rather than through spreadsheets.
When apparel brands land wholesale accounts, the fulfillment requirements change completely. Polybagging to spec. Hangtag application. Price ticketing. Carton labeling to a retailer’s routing guide. Case pack configurations that differ by account.
Jay Group handles retail-ready prep in-house and connects to retail EDI through SPS Commerce for 850, 856, and 810 documents. Nordstrom, Macy’s, Target, and Walmart each publish their own requirements, and non-compliance means chargebacks that erode the margin the account was supposed to deliver.
Apparel demand is not flat. Seasonal drops, holiday volume, and promotional spikes can triple order counts inside a week. Our facilities flex labor across peak periods without renegotiating your agreement, and 7-day-a-week fulfillment at our Lancaster headquarters means weekend orders do not wait for Monday.
Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart Marketplace, and wholesale all draw from the same physical inventory. Real-time sync prevents overselling across channels, and a single pool means you are not holding duplicate safety stock in three locations.
750,000+ square feet across Lancaster and Mountville, Pennsylvania, Reno, Nevada, and Houston, Texas, reaching roughly 90% of US consumers in two days. For a category where free shipping and free returns are the norm, zone reduction goes directly to your contribution margin.
