Switch 3PL Without Disrupting Your Orders

Your stock transfer is managed through a fully controlled and transparent process, providing complete visibility from collection through to final receipt at our facility. Before any stock is moved, your existing provider will be required to complete an accurate and documented stock reconciliation to confirm the inventory being transferred.Your goods will then be collected by one of our trusted transport partners and transported directly to our facility, minimising handling and reducing the risk of stock loss or damage during transit. Once received, our team will complete a detailed reconciliation check to verify quantities and ensure all inventory has arrived as expected.Any discrepancies identified during the receiving process will be documented and communicated directly with your previous provider for investigation and resolution. Throughout the transfer, our team will work closely with all parties involved and provide regular updates from collection through to successful receipt, giving you complete confidence and peace of mind during your transition to Blue30.

We offer two options for managing your stock transfer:Option 1: We liaise directly with your current provider and arrange the logistics on your behalf.Option 2: You continue to liaise with your current provider, and we manage the logistics around your required timeframe.The reason we recommend the first option is that it gives us full visibility and control over the process. We know exactly when the stock has been released, when collection is scheduled, and when the goods are in transit to our facility.This reduces unnecessary back and forth communication and removes you from being the middle point between your existing provider and us. It eliminates delays caused by coordinating availability, release dates, and transport arrangements.This approach gives you one less thing to manage, allowing you to focus on growing your brand while we take care of the logistics behind the scenes.

The timescale for switching to Blue30 depends on your brand's specific requirements and the complexity of the transfer.On average, the process takes between 1 and 4 weeks from signing the agreement to going live. However, if your move is time-sensitive, we can often accelerate the process to meet urgent deadlines.Before the transfer begins, we'll work with you to create a detailed transition plan, ensuring every stage of the move is carefully coordinated. This allows us to provide an accurate timeline and ensure your stock is transferred with minimal disruption to your operations.

We can structure your transition to align with your existing notice period, ensuring a smooth and well planned switch.If your current provider charges early termination fees, our 3PL Switch Credit may help offset these costs. Alternatively, we can schedule your go live date to coincide with the end of your notice period, allowing for a seamless transition without disrupting your operations.

This is rare, but it can happen. If it does, we will liaise with you and or your current provider to adjust the transition timeline, ensuring the switch takes place at a time that works for all parties.

Every transition is different and depends on the brand, stock levels, and operational requirements. Our priority is always to minimise downtime and ensure a smooth handover.To achieve this, we offer flexible transfer solutions including partial stock moves, same day transfers, phased migrations, and weekend transfers. Get in touch with our team to discuss your requirements and identify the best approach for your business.

This will be discussed as part of the transfer planning process, where we will agree a clear timeline and define the point at which we take over order fulfilment.If any back orders cannot be fulfilled by your existing provider before the transition, we can support by fulfilling these once the stock has been received, booked into our system, and is ready for dispatch.
