ShipStation Visits Wellspring Gardens to Explore How We Manage Growth Across Six Marketplaces
As Wellspring Gardens has grown, so has the complexity of running our business behind the scenes. With hundreds of plant varieties and hundreds of thousands of orders moving through our fulfillment operation, keeping everything organized, accurate, and moving efficiently is no small undertaking.
Recently, the team at ShipStation took an interest in our story and wanted to learn more about how we've built our operation. They featured Wellspring Gardens in a new customer success story, highlighting how we use technology and automation to manage inventory, streamline fulfillment, and keep our business running smoothly across multiple sales channels.
Today, we manage more than 865 SKUs across six marketplaces. Keeping inventory synchronized across all those channels is essential to preventing overselling and ensuring customers can purchase with confidence.
ShipStation serves as our central source of truth for inventory, automatically reflecting sales across our connected channels. We've also built more than 200 automation rules to eliminate repetitive work and make our fulfillment processes more efficient.
One example: we've reduced the time it takes to prepare an order for shipping from approximately 10 minutes to just 3.4 minutes. Those improvements make a meaningful difference, particularly during our busiest months of March through June, when we're shipping thousands of live plants to customers across the country.
We're proud of what our team has accomplished, and it's exciting to have an opportunity to share a little of what happens behind the scenes at Wellspring Gardens. ShipStation shared our story and titled it, "Growing Pains, Solved: How Wellspring Gardens Keeps 865 SKUs in Sync Across 6 Marketplaces."
