With decades in logistics, Mark Taylor, co-founder of Warehouse Republic, has helped brands of all sizes streamline fulfillment, cut costs, and scale without sacrificing customer experience.
🎯 The Growth Driver: Efficiency
Mark’s clients scale by:
Mapping their true fulfillment needs before picking a 3PL
Adding supply chain specialists at the right revenue stage
"At a certain point, it makes sense to hire somebody who knows everything about your personal company’s supply chain… that person can pay for themselves very quickly just based on some quick wins”, says Mark.
🔁 From Chaos to Control
To make fulfillment a growth advantage instead of a bottleneck, Mark says:
Focus first on service levels—switching 3PLs should only happen when performance is an issue or savings are undeniable
Use data to predict order volume by region before splitting inventory across warehouses
Treat multi-location fulfillment as a technology challenge first, not just a logistics one
🚨 Mark’s Advice for Founders
✔ Only add warehouses when volume and predictability justify the complexity
✔ Hire a supply chain pro when they can easily save or earn more than their salary
✔ Optimize shipping costs before changing providers—most will negotiate if asked:
"If the only thing you’re worried about is price, nine times out of ten your current provider will negotiate with you if you just ask."
