Ever had a summer filled with fun but interrupted by pesky mosquitoes? 

That's exactly what sparked the creation of NATPAT, a company that's become a global leader in natural wellness patches.

In this email, we'll dive into NATPAT's story and how they conquered a common challenge for growing businesses: shipping complexities.

It all started in 2019 around a family dining table…

Frustrated by mosquito bites disrupting their summer fun, the founders of NATPAT had a spark of inspiration.

Their children's playful experiment with citronella wax led to the creation of their now-famous mosquito repellent patch.

This innovative approach grew into a full line of natural, wearable patches for sleep, relaxation, focus, and more.

But as NATPAT's popularity soared, they faced some shipping challenges…

NATPAT's patches were buzzing off shelves in the USA, Australia, Canada, UK, and beyond. But shipping pallets of products to each country was a logistical nightmare.

They encountered:

1) Multiple Fulfillment Partners: Finding partners in each region was time-consuming and complex.

2) Long Delays: Customers faced 15-30 day wait times due to traditional cargo shipping.

3) High Costs: Duties, clearances, and local freight added significant expense.

4) Inventory Management: Varied backend requirements created a logistical headache.

Explosive Growth that was stalled by shipping:

Their success story was threatened by these shipping complexities.

They needed a solution to:

Streamline Deliveries: Get products to customers faster.

Boost Inventory Availability: Reduce the time between production and customer purchase.

Cut Costs: Decrease bulk air freight expenses and delays.

Simplify Logistics: Unify SKUs and manage inventory across borders.

Fuel Global Expansion: Reach every customer, regardless of location.

That’s when the Portless partnership came in…

NATPAT found its answer in Portless, a fulfillment powerhouse.

And here's how Portless helped them take flight:

Global Reach Unlocked: Inventory moved to Portless's state-of-the-art Shenzhen facility, expanding their reach to over 50 countries.

Streamlined Operations: They eliminated the need for multiple fulfillment centers and costly air freight.

Reduced Costs: Slashed operational expenses and gained control over inventory management with a single global pool.

Flexible Production: Produced inventory based on actual demand, not minimum order quantities.

The result?

NATPAT overcame their shipping hurdles and soared to new heights with Portless.

Their success story proves that the right fulfillment partner can be a game-changer for any business!
