Prior to WarehouseQuote

Joyride had successfully built a direct-to-consumer business and was ready to expand into retail. However, navigating retail compliance requirements — from labeling and packaging specifications to tight delivery windows — presented a steep learning curve.

The team needed a fulfillment partner who could help them scale into retail without compromising the operational efficiency they had built in their DTC business.

The solution: A retail-ready fulfillment network with compliance expertise built in

Joyride partnered with WarehouseQuote to build a fulfillment operation designed specifically for retail expansion. WarehouseQuote's team helped Joyride navigate retailer-specific requirements, optimize routing logic to minimize freight costs, and ensure compliance with retailer delivery standards.

With WarehouseQuote's technology platform, Joyride gained real-time visibility into inventory across locations and could seamlessly manage both DTC and retail orders from a single system.

Results

• 5+ Major retail partners supported
• 1 Fulfillment partner managing both DTC and retail
• Zero Retail chargebacks in the first year
