How a 3PL Saved $470K in 12 Weeks
A case study in fixing labor, leadership, and pricing - without capex spend

A growing 3PL on the West Coast had everything pointing in the right direction: more orders, a bigger warehouse, and a loyal customer base.
But five years in, they still hadn’t figured out how to make money.
On paper, things looked solid.
The business specialized in branded apparel and accessories fulfillment, was generating $3.5M in annual revenue, and had just expanded into a larger facility to handle rising volumes.
But operationally, it was falling short. Costs were high, workflows were inconsistent, and labor productivity was unclear.
That’s when they brought in The TAC Group.
Over the next 12 weeks, TAC helped the company step back, assess what was broken, and rebuild a more structured, measurable, and sustainable way to operate.
Here’s how they did it - and what you can learn from it. 👇️
