Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) are software tools critical to managing operations at warehouses and distribution centers. Many small and mid size companies rely on third-party logistics companies (3PLs) utilizing these tools to take care of their inventory and shipping needs. Using a WMS can automate processes and maximize efficiency when dealing with orders, shipments, and keeping your customers happy. However, even robust WMS often lack an answer for unsellable goods that wind up back in the warehouse with no sustainable disposition option. What can brands do to ensure items are not just piled up and tossed in the landfill?
Enter LiquiDonate’s innovative tech solution. Any out-of-season, open box, or return that would be too costly to resell can be matched and donated to one of our thousands of nonprofit partners in the US. The useful items end up with folks in need, companies can pursue a tax benefit, and unnecessary waste to the landfill is blocked.
One LiquiDonate client, a 3PL company offering warehousing and fulfillment services to businesses, uses LiquiDonate to keep storage costs low and optimize warehouse space efficiently:
- $68,000+ value of goods eligible for charitable tax benefit
- 5,000+ items picked up by local organizations
- Average time to match pallets with a nonprofit recipient: 5.6 days
By leveraging LiquiDonate’s Magic Match technology, costly storage and disposal fees are avoided while items are routed to support the local community.
Our API can integrate with any WMS, and to get started today our easy web app is available to warehouse service providers and brands alike. Augment your current WMS tool with LiquiDonate to streamline operations and do good in your community. Contact us to learn more!
