Bridging the Divide Between Nurseries & Your Home
- Plants are delicate living products that require special handling, which makes it challenging to get them to their destination safely.
- With advancements in ground shipping speeds, it is now possible to ship plants cost-effectively, without compromising delivery times.
- Local and regional nurseries have faced stiff competition from big box retailers, leading to squeezed margins and motivation to fulfill directly to consumers.
- Customer behavior has changed with this next generation, who want to purchase plants just as they do all their other products online with personalization and customized search.
- Our company provides a custom technology solution that enables the shipment of plants throughout the year to all 48 states. This comprehensive solution includes software, equipment, and processes that transform a nursery into a fulfillment center.
- Our fully integrated solution manages all aspects of the fulfillment process. Orders are drop-shipped directly from one of our partner nurseries to the customer by the next business day.
- We are on our 7th generation of custom boxes with 12 sizes for optimal shipping and cost reduction. This includes specialized wrapping and packaging to ensure shipping in any weather.
