This week James and Jennifer are joined by Derek Loftus, Co-Founder of PopCapacity, a platform focused on adding visibility and a modern procurement experience for brands when sourcing and connecting with warehousing partners for fulfillment and storage. With expertise in e-commerce fulfillment and customer experience, Derek shares insights on how brands evaluate and select their distribution partners based on location, capabilities, automation, and more.
Why 1st Phorm?
Derek chose 1st Phorm because it has been on his radar for a while, appearing in his social media feed and through fitness influencers he follows. A friend also recommended their products, highlighting their high quality. Additionally, as a logistics expert, Derek was curious about how a brand that self-fulfills would handle order processing, especially given their wide product selection.
