FOR FULFILLMENT PARTNERS

Stock our mailers at your dock. Pay on draw-down.

Three flexible programs — Consignment, Vendor-Managed Inventory and Branded JIT — built so high-volume 3PLs can hold Synergy stock without tying up working capital or risking a stockout.

WHY 3PLS RUN THE PROGRAM

Inventory turns up. Stockouts go away.

3PL ops managers get fired for stockouts, not for being a few cents over on COGS. Holding Synergy stock at your dock means the mailer is always one rack away — no inbound transit, no broker delays, no Friday-afternoon scramble when a client doubles their shipping volume on Monday.

And because title only transfers when you pull the SKU (Consignment) or you replenish on draw-down (VMI), your CFO sees the working-capital impact go to zero. The mailers don't sit on your balance sheet — they sit on ours.

THE THREE PROGRAMS

Pick the shape that fits your ops.

The right structure depends on volume stability, who you want holding inventory risk, and whether the end-client wants their own branded mailer. We'll size the right program on the discovery call.

PROGRAM 01

Consignment

Synergy retains title until you pull the SKU. You hold the inventory; we invoice monthly on actual consumption.

Best for

Variable or growing-volume operations that want zero downside if a SKU stalls.

  • Initial stock placement at your DC
  • Title transfers on consumption, not on delivery
  • Monthly billing on actuals consumed
  • Slow-mover risk sits with Synergy

Pick this if you want zero working capital tied up and zero balance-sheet impact.

PROGRAM 02

Vendor-Managed Inventory

You own the inventory the moment the truck unloads; Synergy auto-replenishes against thresholds. No POs to chase.

Best for

Stable, predictable operations that want ops simplicity and a lower per-bag price.

  • Title transfers at delivery, like a normal purchase
  • Synergy monitors stock + auto-triggers replenishment
  • Billed per replenishment shipment (standing PO)
  • Lower per-bag pricing — you absorb the carry

Pick this if you want simpler accounting and a lower per-bag price, and you're comfortable holding the inventory.

PROGRAM 03

Branded JIT

Custom mailers in your brand or your client's brand, short lead times, no MOQ trap on the 3PL side.

Best for

3PLs offering white-glove or premium-tier service to ecommerce clients who want branded packaging.

  • Custom artwork, color, gauge per client
  • 10-15 day standard lead time from PO
  • Per-client SKU segregation at your dock
  • Co-branded option for the 3PL's own clients

Pick this if your clients want branded mailers without having to commit to a year of inventory.

CONSIGNMENT vs VMI

The two programs look similar. One variable defines everything.

Auto-replenishment runs the same way in both programs — Synergy monitors thresholds and ships to maintain forward coverage. The thing that changes is when title transfers, which flips who carries risk, who pays working capital, and when we invoice.

One-line rule: Consignment means we own the stock on your floor and you pay when you use it. VMI means you own it the moment it lands and we just run the reorder math for you. Same delivery cadence, different balance-sheet treatment.

WHY SYNERGY FOR CONSIGNMENT

We're built for this — most converters aren't.

TIJUANA PROXIMITY

Sub-24-hour replenishment to CA, AZ, TX. Most US 3PLs on the West Coast or Southwest are within a single truck day of our plant — same day if it's urgent.

BILINGUAL OPS

Account managers, planning team and inventory analysts all run EN/ES. Cross-border 3PL ops in TJ/Otay or fulfillment partners on Mercado Libre work with us in the language they prefer.

IN-HOUSE EXTRUSION

We extrude our own film, so custom gauges, colors and additive packages don't go through a converter. That means real cost on custom — not a converter markup.

USMCA + CARTA PORTE READY

USMCA Certificate of Origin, CFDI 4.0 invoicing, Carta Porte 3.0 transport documents — the cross-border paperwork layer is solved on our side. Your broker gets a clean packet.

WHAT THE 3PL BRINGS

The handful of things we need.

  • Annual volume in the program range we'll size together at the discovery call
  • Dedicated SKU rack space at your primary DC
  • Monthly cycle count + reconciliation cooperation
  • Single point of contact on the ops side
WHAT SYNERGY PROVIDES

Everything else.

  • Initial inventory drop, sized to your forecast
  • Synergy OS portal access — inventory levels, draw-down, invoices
  • Dedicated customer success manager
  • Custom artwork and branding included in the program rate
  • Freight to your dock included above the agreed monthly threshold
LAUNCH INCENTIVE

Three things that take the "what if it doesn't move" off your CFO's desk.

30 days

Free ramp window

Zero consumption billing from the moment your starter stock arrives. You only pay starting Day 31, on actual bags consumed in Month 2 forward.

50,000 bags

Starter stock at our cost

Shipped within 10 business days of countersign, split across our top 6 SKUs. If the pilot ends in the free window, we pay return freight or you keep it — your call.

Auto-tiered

Pricing that drops as you scale

Tier 2 unlocks at 100k bags/mo (−8%). Tier 3 at 500k (−15% + dedicated planner). Tier is computed on rolling 30-day actual consumption — no renegotiation needed.

Replenishment SLA: ≥30 days of forward consumption on hand for every enrolled SKU. Miss it twice in any 90-day rolling window and your next month's invoice is automatically credited 10%.

HOW THE PROGRAM RUNS

Apply online. Counter-sign in three clicks. We do the rest.

The whole program runs through Synergy OS — no PDF chase, no DocuSign account required, no per-client paperwork once you're live. Eight stages from application to operational:

    01

    Apply

    Company, DC, WMS, estimated monthly volume. Five minutes online.

    02

    Reviewing

    Your Synergy rep reaches out within two business days to talk volume + answer questions.

    03

    Vetting

    Standard credit + operational + reference checks. Light-touch — designed for 3PLs, not enterprise procurement.

    04

    Agreement sent

    Click-through agreement lands in your inbox. 14 plain-English clauses, no surprise terms.

    05

    Signed

    Type your name, check the authorization box, Accept. Snapshotted with timestamp + IP for the audit trail.

    06

    Stock shipped

    50,000-bag starter pallet leaves Tijuana within 10 business days. The 30-day free window starts the day it arrives.

    07

    Integration

    We issue your webhook credentials + a 10-line WMS shim. ~4 hours of dev work on your side, end to end.

    08

    Live

    Real-time inventory in your partner portal. Monthly statements auto-generated with per-client breakdown.

Each step has its own status URL — you can check where your application is at any time, no login required. When you go live, the partner dashboard shows on-hand inventory, days-of-coverage at current burn rate, next inbound replenishment ETA, and a running by-client consumption split.

QUICK ANSWERS

The questions every 3PL asks.

How do I apply?
Online, five minutes. The form asks for your company, the DC you'd run the program at, your WMS, and an estimated monthly volume. You get back a tracking URL the same second you submit — bookmark it and you can check status at any time, no login required.
What does the workflow look like once we sign?
Eight stages: Apply → Reviewing → Vetting → Agreement sent → Signed → Stock shipped → Integration → Live. The whole thing runs in Synergy OS — click-through signing (no DocuSign), webhook credentials emailed on integration, and a partner portal at portal.synergypackaging.mx that shows on-hand inventory + this-month consumption split by your end-clients.
What's the difference between Consignment and VMI?
Title transfer point. On Consignment, we keep title until you consume a bag — your working capital is zero, your balance sheet is clean, and we eat the slow-mover risk. On VMI, you take title the moment the truck unloads — you pay a lower per-bag price, but the inventory is yours from delivery onward. The auto-replenishment mechanic is identical in both. Pick Consignment for variable or growing volume; pick VMI when you'd rather absorb the carry for a lower unit price.
What's the minimum to qualify?
We size the program to your business — there's no public minimum. We'll talk volume, SKU mix and lead-time expectations during the review stage and size from there.
What if a SKU sits at our dock and doesn't move?
On Consignment, we agree on an aging window up front (typically 90-120 days). After that, we discuss whether to roll into a permanent buy, repurpose to another client, or pull back to our plant. Slow-mover risk is on us, not on you.
Can the program cover branded mailers for our ecommerce clients?
Yes — Program 03 (Branded JIT) is built for exactly that. You can offer branded mailers to your ecomm clients without forcing them to buy a year of inventory. We hold the design; you pull what gets used.
Do you support fulfillment ops in Mexico?
Yes. Mexican 3PL operations — Mercado Libre fulfillment partners, cross-border 3PLs in Tijuana and Otay Mesa, and Mexican domestic fulfillment — are core to the program. CFDI 4.0 + Carta Porte are issued routinely. Account managers, planning team and the agreement itself are all bilingual EN/ES.
