Run Your Fulfillment RFP the Right Way
Slotted gives you a structured workflow that captures the details 3PLs need, compares responses cleanly, and helps you choose the partner who fits your business.
Why a Structured RFP Matters
A fulfillment provider isn't just another vendor. They become part of your operating system. The wrong choice leads to delays, missed SLAs, and hard-to-explain customer experiences. But most RFPs fall apart because the information providers receive is incomplete, inconsistent, or unclear.
Slotted streamlines the entire process.
You gather the right details once, share them with selected providers, and get responses that are structured, comparable, and easy to evaluate.
This is what a real RFP is supposed to feel like.
A Guided Intake That Captures the Right Data
Slotted walks you through a step-by-step intake designed around how fulfillment actually works.
In a few minutes, you'll provide:
- Monthly order volumes
- SKU counts and complexity
- Inventory patterns
- Storage and pick/pack workflows
- Value-added service requirements
- Shipping methods and carriers
Shortlist Providers With Confidence
Once your RFP is created, you can choose which providers receive it—whether they're from your shortlist, your network, or the Slotted directory.
Every provider sees the same details, in the same structured format.
No clarifying emails. No back-and-forth. No drifting assumptions.
Structured Proposals, Not Email Threads
Providers submit their proposals through Slotted's guided flow. That means every response you receive is standardized across:
- Services offered
- SLAs and processing times
- Tech stack alignment
- Inbound receiving process
- Value-added services
- Pricing structure
Side-by-Side Comparison
Slotted makes it easy to compare providers across capabilities, cost, SLAs, and services.
You see:
- Operational alignment with your requirements
- Pricing broken down by service type
- Value-added services each provider offers
- Technology compatibility
- Geographic coverage and locations
- SLAs and performance commitments
Decision Clarity — Choose With Confidence
Slotted's fit scoring shows you which providers align with your operational needs, cost expectations, and long-term goals.
You make your decision based on:
- Capabilities match — Can they actually handle your requirements?
- Cost transparency — Is the pricing sustainable?
- Operational fit — Do workflows and expectations align?
- Trust signals — Do they have a proven track record?
So you're confident before signing a contract.
