Case Study: AutoGeek Streamlines Fulfillment and Lowers Shipping Costs with ShipBob

Why AutoGeek Moved from In-House Fulfillment to ShipBob’s Outsourced Solution to Streamline Operations

AutoGeek, an online car care superstore, had outgrown its in-house fulfillment operation as order volume and SKU complexity increased. With 2,400 SKUs, large multi-item orders, and seasonal spikes, the company’s Florida and Indiana warehouses were struggling to stay scalable and cost-efficient, especially for its DTC business. AutoGeek chose ShipBob’s outsourced fulfillment solution to replace part of its warehouse-based shipping process.

By moving DTC fulfillment to ShipBob, AutoGeek gained access to ShipBob’s software, carrier rate logic, and fulfillment network to improve flexibility and throughput. The company reported lower shipping and fulfillment costs, better margins, and the ability to handle high-volume days more easily, including 1,400 orders in a single day. AutoGeek also said ShipBob helped reduce the burden of fixed labor overhead and made it easier to support 2-day shipping expectations.
