What if your 3PL pulled you forward?
The Last 3PL You’ll Have to Onboard.
Tired of running three 3PLs? One for DTC, one for B2B, one for kitting — three contracts, three inventory pools, three places to chase down a problem. Run all of it from one building, one inventory pool, and one team that has spent 20 years solving exactly these problems.
Built for complex brands. Proven for 20 years.
20 years of operational expertise — running DTC, B2B retail, kitting and displays for global brands and fast-scaling companies, with a team that operates as an extension of yours.
- 20 Years of Experience

- Built for Growing Brands
- From fast-scaling companies to global brands with complex requirements.
- An Extension of Your Team
- Dedicated experts who know your business, manage the details and solve problems with you.
Your 3PL says they do everything. Then the holiday kits slip.
Every 3PL says end-to-end. The channels that make a brand grow are the work generalists are worst at.
Kitting gets treated as storage plus picks
→ Gift sets need a production line and a First Article, not picks.
Retail windows slip and chargebacks eat the margin
→ A generalist learns the routing guide on your POs. You pay.
The display program quietly goes to a co-packer anyway
→ Three vendors, three inventory pools, three sets of hands on your product.
Winning a new channel means finding a new vendor
→ Retail, wholesale, kitted SKUs: the growth channels generalists handle worst.
What changes when you sell through every channel — and why we run all three
Most 3PLs are built for one of these columns.

Our clients, in their own words.
Brand ops directors, plant managers, CEOs.

“a 10-minute phone call is all it takes.”
“When we set the process, it just works.”
The difference isn't the warehouse. It's the team running your program.

Nationwide 3PL Warehouse Network
Facility figures are site-level facts from each location page, not live readings.
Productiv, Inc. is a high-performance third-party logistics (3PL) company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, specializing in kitting, assembly, and omnichannel fulfillment for enterprise brands and fast-growing companies — 1,200+ operators across our network: the Dallas hub, Charlotte in the East, Reno in the West.
We're not for everyone. That's intentional.
Productiv works best with companies who want a real operating partner, not another vendor to manage.
Productiv works well if you:
- Run a kitting, assembly, or display program your 3PL calls too complex.
- Ship into Walmart or Target and absorb chargebacks your 3PL can't explain.
- Face a surge, new retail account, or launch beyond your current capacity.
- Want a partner who owns the outcome, with direct access to decision-makers.
Productiv is not the right fit for:
- Want a hands-off vendor without collaboration, visibility, or disciplined execution.
- Prioritize the lowest price over responsiveness, accuracy, and continuous improvement.
- Run a simple pick-pack-ship operation where lowest cost decides.
- Need basic storage and fulfillment without value-added services or problem-solving.
