eCommerce Solutions

At The Allied Group, electronic commerce has been at the core of our strategic operational process and simply a way of life since the early 90’s. 3PL providers throughout the country have been forced to evolve beyond traditional logistics and truly offer a product and service that is more encompassing and technologically sophisticated. When thinking of business process outsourcing solutions, consider a partner who offers:

Warehousing & Distribution

Our 125,000 square foot fulfillment outsourcing center houses over 15,000 unique SKU’s for over 100 different clients. By assisting with the more efficient storage and movement of materials of all kinds through our full service fulfillment programs, we are able to help clients contain, reduce and remove costs operationally.

Materials Handling

The Allied Group is able to assist with the effective management of all printed documents within an organization. This traditionally includes the production, storage, and distribution of documents using just-in-time inventory ordering principals, in small units of measure, combining online inventory and ordering methods, and can include web-to-print services.
 
Programs often begin with a formal logistics assessment. For B-to-B and B-to-C operations, the prime service is an integrated supply chain management approach to ensure more efficient movement of materials, using mistake-proof processes, in and out of an organization including:

  • Procurement
  • Pick & pack services
  • Final assembly schedule (FAS)
  • Kitting & packaging
  • Commercial & digital printing services

Whether handling raw materials, work-in-process inventory or finished goods, the goal is to improve inventory visibility and velocity with an ISO 13485:2003 and ISO 9001:2008 certified process.

Inventory Control & Returns Management

The Allied Group's automated process of supply, storage and accessibility of inventoried items improves efficiency, reduces operational cost and has enabled us to achieve 98% inventory accuracy. Our returns management software streamlines the processes to maximize warranty recoveries and improve inventory management. These processes and capabilities include:

Redundant Quality

Our processes and systems have been set up to ensure that our quality exceeds our clients’ required and expected level and is consistently repeatable. This is accomplished through:

Invoice & Statement Rendering

The projects we take on range from high confidentiality mailings such as medical or benefits information and sophisticated trans-promotional pieces to outsourced invoice and statement rendering through daily mail and direct marketing campaigns. Our process includes 6 steps: data transfer, data processing, document formatting, variable printing, insertion and mailing.

Marketing Communications

We work with genetic testing & diagnostic companies to identify the correct strategies, tactics and messaging that will help them attract, acquire and retain more of the right customers. Strategically, we work with organizations to create formal new business development plans and implement demand and lead generation programs. We also provide traditional marketing communication support services such as:

IT Capabilities & Services

Every successful program that The Allied Group builds has a technological component to it. Over the past 10 years, this has probably been the biggest change in our business. From strategic consulting and the creation of custom solutions, to complex programming, The Allied Group has built a full-time, dedicated IT department to handle the intricate requirements our solutions demand.
