SEO title (recommended): Snapl Advantage: Faire, Shopify & Direct-to-Retail Fulfillment on the East Coast
Meta description (recommended): Omnichannel 3PL for Faire, Shopify, and retail-ready EDI. Two East Coast facilities—Gloucester City, NJ & South Hadley, MA (bonded)—for fast, compliant fulfillment, kitting, and co-packing.

Why Brands Use Snapl for Omnichannel Growth

When wholesale, DTC, and retail each have their own rules, the cost of juggling providers shows up as delays, chargebacks, and lost margin. Snapl consolidates your ecommerce (Shopify), wholesale (Faire), and direct-to-retail (EDI) programs into a single, compliant workflow with:

• One inventory, three channels. Centralized stock visibility and channel-specific routing from the same WMS.
• Retail compliance built-in. GS1-128 carton labels, ASN/EDI, VICS BOL, pallet patterns, and routing-guide adherence to avoid chargebacks.
• Speed and proximity. Two East Coast sites for 1–2 day ground reach to major population centers.
• Value-added services. Kitting, co-packing, labeling, batch/lot coding, shrink-bundling, and retail-ready assembly without a second vendor.
• Transparent pricing. Storage by pallet, clear handling tiers, and project-based quotes for specialized work.
