Build a fulfillment plan around where your customers live. 247 helps Michigan brands manage inventory, DTC orders, marketplace fulfillment and wholesale shipments through a coordinated North American network.
Brands across the 247 network.
Explore their stories in our case studies.
A Detroit headquarters does not mean every customer is in Detroit. The right fulfillment origin depends on where orders actually go, what each parcel costs to ship and how stock reaches the warehouse.
Michigan's I-75 corridor connects Detroit with Ohio, making Midwest capacity relevant to an order-map assessment. A broader national audience may call for a different origin or multiple inventory locations. We compare those options before recommending a setup.
Separate Michigan orders from nationwide demand. Review actual carrier services for each origin and destination.
Include inbound freight, storage, pick and pack, parcel dimensions, returns and inventory replenishment.
The assessment can include Ohio or other Midwest capacity. Facility availability and onboarding timing are confirmed in your proposal.
Metro Detroit, West Michigan and the Upper Peninsula should not be treated as a single delivery market. We assess the destinations that matter to your business.
For brands with customers around Detroit, Ann Arbor and the surrounding suburbs, compare service coverage from the proposed origin against your actual order mix.
Detroit–Windsor and Port Huron–Sarnia are established border crossings. If suppliers or inventory are in Canada, the inbound plan also needs customs coordination and a clear U.S. receiving appointment.
West Michigan's furniture and home-products sector makes product dimensions especially relevant for brands in those categories. Two products with the same weight can require very different storage and shipping setups.
For home goods and other bulky products, review packed dimensions, carton protection, pallet requirements and parcel versus freight eligibility before comparing rates.
The Mackinac Bridge connects Michigan's two peninsulas. An average delivery estimate for the state can hide differences between Lower Peninsula destinations and Upper Peninsula addresses.
Split Northern Michigan and UP orders into their own review. Confirm carrier service, applicable surcharges and return options for those ZIP codes before setting customer expectations.

A Michigan brand selling on Shopify, Amazon and to retailers needs different workflows for each channel. We scope those requirements together.
Inventory receiving, pick and pack, branded packaging and parcel dispatch for your ecommerce orders. Confirm packaging rules and the daily order cutoff during setup.
Customer orders ship from the agreed warehouse. Marketplace dispatch and tracking requirements need to align with the selected service and operating schedule.
Separate replenishment shipments from customer orders. Scope labeling, carton builds, pallet preparation and retailer routing instructions before inventory arrives.
Agree on inspection, disposition and restocking rules. Returned items should move back into sellable inventory only after the required checks.
For Michigan brands sourcing in Canada, or Canadian brands selling into Michigan, moving stock into a U.S. warehouse can separate the inbound import step from domestic order fulfillment.
The comparison should include border handling, replenishment frequency and inventory availability in each country. Your broker or trade adviser confirms customs documentation, importer responsibilities and duties for the products involved.
A domestic customer return and a cross-border inventory transfer are different operations. Decide how each should work before launch.
A low pick fee alone does not tell you the cost of serving Michigan. We build the scope around your inventory, package profile and sales channels so the quote reflects the work required.
Send recent order destinations, SKUs, package dimensions and sales channels. Include peak volume and the service problems you want to resolve.
Review the recommended inventory node, rates, channel requirements, returns process and onboarding availability before scheduling the transfer.
Coordinate integrations, inventory receiving and packaging instructions. Validate the order flow and dispatch setup before moving routine fulfillment across.
Inventory is stored at the 247 network location agreed in your proposal. We assess your customer ZIP codes, product handling requirements and U.S./Canada demand to recommend a suitable shipping origin. Your proposal confirms the location, available services and onboarding timing before you plan an inventory transfer.
It can be a suitable option when its carrier services, total costs and operating workflow match your needs. We assess your actual Michigan ZIP codes and national order mix. Warehouse distance alone does not establish a delivery promise or a shipping saving.
We separate destination groups and compare them from the proposed shipping origin. The review includes service availability, package profile and relevant surcharges, rather than relying on one statewide delivery estimate.
Both workflows can be included in the fulfillment scope. FBM means dispatching individual customer orders; FBA prep means preparing inventory for Amazon replenishment. Labels, cartons, pallets and receiving requirements are agreed during onboarding.
The right setup depends on demand in each country, replenishment costs and border requirements. We can assess separate inventory flows and operating locations. Customs and tax decisions should be reviewed with your broker or adviser.
Share monthly volume, SKUs, bin and pallet quantities, typical items per order, packed dimensions, customer ZIP codes, sales channels and return requirements. That supports a quote covering storage, handling and shipping rather than one isolated fee.
Tell us what you sell, where your orders go and what needs to improve. We'll assess the location, workflow and pricing that fit your operation.
