“Each item that our staff members pick and pack into their satchels, and send out — is done so with purpose, in the fact that it offers employment opportunities to people with a disability,” Sendable Director Chloe Fischart explains.
“Through our unique third-party logistics (3PL) model, we are focused on helping to take e-commerce businesses to the next level while providing a solution to labor force participation and skill development barriers that are currently faced by those with disability.”
CartonCloud’s uniquely user-friendly design and interface caused global ripples, spurring their expansion to the United States and North America where they have set up a local team and already cemented their position as an industry leader.
“We’re thrilled to work with Sendable, and to have the ability to provide them with the tools they need to streamline their business and to achieve their company goals,” said CartonCloud COO Shaun Hagen.
“All 3PLs working with e-commerce clients will want the ability to provide accurate and up-to-date oversight of inventory levels and order traceability.
“What we’ve done at CartonCloud, is build an app that’s not only powerful in managing their operations and admin, but also has a user-centric design, making it easier to train staff on, and easier to use.
“It’s intuitive; it just works. We have had customers with staff who speak very little English tell us their team can use the app straight away, without needed translation, because it just makes sense to what they are doing. That’s huge, you know, being able to give people something that makes their lives easier.”
Leading the way locally and globally, Sendable is Australia’s first social enterprise 3PL — a mission they want to inspire others to bring into their own operations.
"We basically said, ok, what can we do to create employment opportunities for people with a disability?
“You can actually use your supply chain to change someone’s life.
“Given the work we do at Sendable, having a WMS that is easy and simplistic for our staff members to operate was a key priority for us,” Ms Fischart said.
Sendable offer 3PL pick, pack, and fulfillment to e-commerce and bulk commodity clients — and recently outgrew their original warehouse, requiring them to move into a larger space.
“For our customers, they really like promoting the social enterprise part of our 3PL business,” Ms Fischart said.
“It’s really around focusing on the employment opportunities that they are able to create directly through the sale of their products.”
“We’re able to change the lives of these individuals, and as we’re doing it I always have my son in mind. We don't have to have these employment barriers in place, we can overcome them, we can create an inclusive environment where everyone can have opportunities to work.”
