Accuracy Upstream: Warehouse Services Where Every Channel Runs Clean at Scale

ACT has run accounts held to strict buyer specifications since its first year, and that rigor carries across our facilities. The teams on your account work to retail calendars, vendor compliance manuals, and DC delivery appointments as a daily routine.

Distribution Pressure Points, Handled Before They Become Yours

At ACT Fulfillment, we put safeguards in place across the key areas where large shippers feel the strain first:

Chargeback Prevention

Retailer compliance is controlled where each shipment is built, limiting deductions at the source.

Flexible Seasonal Capacity

Space and labor scale with seasonal resets, promotional builds, and peak replenishment cycles, then return to baseline when volume settles.

Single Pool Allocation

Wholesale, store replenishment, and direct-to-consumer orders draw on the same stock position, with allocation priorities under your control.

Controlled 3PL Transitions

Programs moving from another provider are cut over on a planned timeline, with active ship windows protected first.

Load by load: Measured by your buyers, managed by ACT. Connect with Our Experts

What ACT’s 3PL Warehouse & Distribution Services Include

We scope each warehouse program around your SKU profile, order mix, and customer requirements, then configure the services below to how your business ships.

Inbound Receiving & Drayage Coordination

We arrange drayage from the port and coordinate inbound carriers to move containers into the facility quickly, helping limit demurrage and detention exposure.

Storage & Inventory Management

We store your product across 1.5 million square feet, with on-hand balances that match the shelf, so your purchasing team can time reorders to real numbers.

Lot, Expiration & Quality Control

Inventory is managed by lot code and expiration date with FEFO rotation, and quality checks, audits, and status changes are recorded against each item. That record keeps you recall-ready at all times, with any hold visible to your team.

Retailer Orders & Replenishment

Our team prepares orders to each retailer’s routing guide, from carton markings to pallet configuration and shipping documents. Replenishment is built to case-pack specifications and released on your clients’ ordering cycles.

Scheduled & Off-Cycle Wholesale Volume

We execute large orders for wholesale accounts, resellers, and business buyers, including urgent or one-time bulk orders outside the regular schedule, while your recurring outbound keeps moving.

Inventory Visibility & Reporting

You track order and receipt status by your own PO numbers in our customer portal, alongside live inventory. We report through SAP Business Intelligence, with the KPIs you define delivered on a set schedule.

How Inventory Moves Through ACT’s Warehousing and Fulfillment Services

The same five steps govern a single carton or a full trailer, and connect directly to the systems and partners you already work with.

1

Inbound Shipment Advice

Your inbound shipment advice details the SKUs, quantities, and timing of each load before it reaches our dock.

2

Receiving & Storage

Each delivery is counted, inspected, and reconciled against what your supplier shipped, with confirmed quantities reported back to you before put-away.

3

Order Release

Orders arrive by EDI, platform integration, or any other transmission method you use and enter worker pick lists for RF-directed, paperless picking the moment they are initiated.

4

Channel-Specific Preparation

The process is identical until packing, then gives way to each channel’s rules for order size, cartonization, ship method, and short-ship handling.

5

Shipment & Confirmation

We book carrier pickups through established brokerage relationships and send shipping advice straight to your system, with BOL and POD available in the portal.
