Prior to WarehouseQuote
Over many decades, World’s Finest Chocolate has partnered with 3PL operators across the United States to support their B2B distribution. In 2022, World’s Finest Chocolate’s leadership team recognized that there was an opportunity to drive efficiencies within their distribution network as they continue to scale into new U.S. markets.
The solution: A strategic, temperature-controlled warehousing and fulfillment network, backed by logistics experts and technology
World’s Finest Chocolate partnered with WarehouseQuote to re-configure their warehousing and fulfillment network with multiple facilities strategically located near major points of distribution. Operationally, the new model supported their multi-tiered distribution strategy, focusing on temp-controlled facilities that support high-volume LTL outbounds and will-call pickups upon demand.
With a vetted warehouse network coupled with an integrated technology platform and in-house supply chain expertise, World’s Finest Chocolate can continue to scale into new markets and live into their mission of delivering extraordinary value to customers.
