Order Fulfillment Services in Canada.
Fulfillment Services
Fulfillment is our third company pillar. Our fulfillment service options have grown to include Promotional Retail Kitting, Pick-and-Pack Fulfillment Services and Employee Appreciation Kitting and Delivery.
The above-mentioned marketing fulfillment services can be supported through integrations with FedEx and Purolator, which allows us to provide quick and accurate tracking reports.
Promotional Retail Kitting
Kitting can involve multiple items from different suppliers assembled into a package and delivered directly to your clients, franchise locations or potential customers. We have space, expertise, and the capability to help promotional distributors and companies with their kitting and assembly needs.
We will determine lead times on all the promotional items and procure packaging. Once we receive all your promotional product kit components, it is assembled and shipped, with tracking capabilities once it leaves our facility.
Pick-and-Pack Fulfillment Service
We can produce a large variety of printed promotional material – flyers, tent cards, wobblers, shelf tags, etc. Your promotional items are printed and waiting for orders to be placed. Our fulfillment department manages the processing of these materials. They also monitor the inventory levels for your active marketing programs. If more material needs to be printed, our team notifies our print production department through our system and new inventory is produced.
The ability to monitor the ordering demand for your marketing material allows us to keep just enough inventory on hand, which also allows us to reduce costs.
This service is supported by our Print On Demand print services.
We offer procurement for special events like – Conferences, Trade Shows, Staff Social Events, Recruitment and Student Co-op placement and other events.
We will provide you with options and work with you to make selections to maximize your budget. You can supply the artwork or we can have our creative department supply design options and finalize the final print files.
We will manage the procurement and branding of your selected promotional items, along with sourcing cost-effective shipments and arranging shipping directly to your office or the event itself.
Contact us prior to your special event (trade show, conference, etc.) and let us know what kind of items you are looking at giving away.
In the past two years, we have experienced a rising demand in companies looking to show some appreciation to their growing remote labour force.
Supply your employee address list and we will process the kitting and distribution, using your courier account information or sourcing the most cost-effective and timely courier to meet your needs.
We will provide daily or weekly reports regarding the status of each shipment.

Multiple Address Shipping Splits
As a component of the Pick-and-Pack service, we also allow users to enter multiple shipping addresses for the marketing materials they are ordering. Below is an example of how a representative can create a single order with multiple delivery locations.
Example
A sales representative needs to order marketing material for three accounts they manage. They want to send their accounts information about the upcoming sales promotion.
With our online print and fulfillment system, they can process the following order profile:
- Create 1 order
- Add 5 items to their cart and set the quantity per item
- Add 3 addresses
When you need to quickly order a set of items and have them go to multiple locations. The goal is to simplify the ordering process by reducing the number of decisions needed. When we receive the order – Each Item Quantity is replicated across each location. Keeping quantities consistent helps reduce the fulfillment time needed to package all the items for each location properly.
