About this episode

In this episode, Eitan Koter and Leo Rodriguez discuss the importance of viewing your 3PL as a partner and the common pitfalls brands face when scaling their fulfillment operations.

Host, Eitan Koter is joined by Leo Rodriguez, Vice President at River Plate Inc., a fulfillment company with over 33 years of experience helping brands ship smarter. River Plate works with everyone from beauty and toy brands to influencer-led lifestyle companies, so Leo has seen pretty much everything. In this episode, Leo talks about why your 3PL should feel like a partner, not just a vendor, how to spot when something is going wrong before it becomes a bigger problem, and what fast growing brands usually get wrong when they start scaling. He also gets into how bundling, returns, and data dashboards all connect back to keeping customers coming back. If your fulfillment partner feels more like a vendor than a partner, this episode will tell you exactly why that's costing you.
