And a single broken bottle or late delivery can turn a loyal customer into a lost one. Yandell Companies has shaped its DTC fulfillment model with those stakes in mind. From temperature-controlled handling to secure, wine-specific packaging, their team focuses on preserving both the product and the brand experience at every step. What sets us apart isn’t just care in transit—it’s the integration behind the scenes. Because Yandell also manages storage, transportation, and value-added services in-house, fulfillment isn’t a disconnected final step.

As the urgency to combat climate change intensifies, one of the significant initiatives is to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This means that within the supply chain, every truck move counts. There is power in streamlining a company’s transportation to reduce the number of unnecessary truck moves and reduce its corresponding CO2 emissions. You can derive your CO2 emissions by looking at how much freight you transport, the distance that freight travels, and the specific mode of transport used.  According to the Environmental Defense Fund, a 300-mile truck transport of a 20-ton freight will emit one metric ton of CO2 to the environment. Omnichannel Impact Omnichannel is a unified supply chain solution that integrates trucking, warehousing, logistics, fulfillment, and value-added services.  Streamlining—placing all facets of the supply chain under one control unit—leads to best-in-class service, operations, and a sustainable environment.
