Scaling Franchise Distribution Without Losing Control

Sharetea's journey to efficient logistics management with Stride Logistics.

Sharetea products staged for franchise distribution fulfillment at Stride Logistics

Challenge

Sharetea required a logistics partner capable of managing their entire supply chain — from international imports to wholesale fulfillment across 140 franchise locations.

Their prior model relied on fragmented vendors and manual workflows, resulting in slower dock-to-stock cycles, inventory misalignment, and operational friction as order volume increased.

Solution

Stride Logistics became Sharetea's first fully integrated 3PL, centralizing:

  • Import container coordination

  • Palletized inbound handling

  • FEFO-driven inventory workflows

  • Franchise order fulfillment

  • Wholesale distribution execution

Structured warehouse controls and automated order processing replaced manual handling and reduced operational variability.
