The situation:
A large healthcare fulfillment operation runs volume that peaks 4x above baseline during AEP. Traditional vendor lead times (24-72 hours) don't fit their peak workflow, they need same-day.
The approach:
Together we set up pre-positioned inventory in TCGC's warehouse. Their spec envelopes live on our shelves, labeled, tracked, ready. During peak, orders don't trigger production runs; they trigger shipping. Local delivery range applies.
What it enabled:
Same-day fulfillment during AEP peak. Most orders delivers within 1-2 business hours of intake. Their operation ran through peak season without a single supply-side delay.
Why it worked:
Pre-clearance + warehouse storage service opt-in. Not magic, pre-positioned inventory. Every fulfillment operation who reaches peak reliably at that speed has done the same operational setup.
The question worth asking:
If your operation needs same-day fulfillment during peak, is your current setup engineered for it? Or is it engineered for baseline?
