-- Floship, the leading crowdfunding fulfillment service provider, and Platform88, a manufacturing and product development service provider, have joined forces to enable each other's clients access to their respective expertise and suite of services. This partnership holds a promise that it will bridge the gap between manufacturing and fulfillment for their clients to reduce costs and improve efficiencies across the supply chain.
All crowdfunding campaigns for physical products require manufacturing and order fulfillment logistics working together hand in hand. Nevertheless, these two services traditionally don't meet until a later stage in the process, which often creates inefficiencies of time and cost for the campaigns. The partnership between Floship and Platform88 will eliminate that.
As stated by Blake Meyers, founder of Crunch Cup which sold 1,040 units of their innovative cereal cup through Kickstarter, "Crowdfunding campaigns for physical products require both manufacturing expertise and logistics expertise. Both are critical elements of the supply chain, but often times, campaign owners don't connect these two areas until way too late into the process."
Crowdfunding campaigns will now have the opportunity to engage with the logistics arm of their process as early as possible and avoid having to go through the hassle of finding a reliable logistics partner at the end of their manufacturing process. The process includes them being guided accordingly as it relates to selecting packaging, transport, and storage, and gering a sense of the overall supply chain cost before the manufacturing process has ended.
Both Floship and Platform88 are excited to work with each other and bring crowdfunding campaigns the opportunity to minimize their hassles. "Integrating Manufacturing and crowdfunding fulfillment services will allow entrepreneurs on platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo to minimize the risk of delays in production and fulfillment," says Eun-Ah Choi, Director of Partnerships at Platform88. Floship CEO Steve Suh states, "We're very excited to work with Platform88 given their direct ownership of their factories and a passion for working with innovative startups that mirrors our own excitement."
