How we partner

The strongest 3PL partnerships
start with operational clarity.

We think brands should choose a 3PL based on operational fit, transparency, and whether the partner can actually support growth once the volume starts moving.
— How Taylor approaches partnership

At Taylor, these are some of the areas we focus heavily on with customers — the work that turns a vendor agreement into a real operational partnership.

01 Pricing

Transparent pricing conversations

We walk through how receiving, storage, fulfillment, freight, and accessorials work together operationally, not just line by line on a rate sheet.

02 Receiving

Flexible receiving models

Palletized freight, floor-loaded containers, unit-level receiving, retail prep, and compliance requirements all impact labor and flow differently.

03 Freight

Freight optimization

Carrier selection, DIM-weight strategy, routing compliance, customer shipping accounts, and transportation visibility can significantly impact landed costs.

04 Tech

Visibility and reporting

Real-time access to inventory, reporting, order status, and operational metrics, so customers can make informed decisions as they scale.

05 Scale

Scalability

Processes that work at 500 orders a month often break at 10,000. Infrastructure, labor planning, automation, and systems all matter.

06 Retail

Retail and compliance experience

Vendor compliance, labeling requirements, pallet specs, routing guides, retailer prep, and OTIF expectations all require operational discipline.

07 Communication

Clear communication

Monthly minimums, account management structure, escalation language, implementation expectations, and long-term planning. Nothing should ever be a surprise.

The strongest 3PL partnerships happen when both sides understand the operational model from day one.

Longevity

Most family businesses don’t make it past the third generation. Taylor is in the sixth and seventh.

The way we run a floor today is not the way we ran it in 1850, 1950, or 2010. Every era, we keep what works and rebuild the rest — process, technology, and the team it takes to run them.

Process

Refined by repetition.

175 years of receiving, putaway, fulfillment, and freight — each year sharpening the playbook that runs our floors today.

Technology

Modernized continuously.

From paper bills of lading to canal logs to rail manifests to a real-time WMS, OMS, and TMS — every era retooled for the next.

People

Grown with our team, customers, and vendors.

Long careers on our side, long contracts on theirs. Relationships that span decades — not quarters.

Companies don’t survive 175 years by staying the same. They survive by evolving alongside their team, their customers, and their vendors — every single year.
