Award-winning 3PL for 7-Day-a-Week Omnichannel Fulfillment. AI-powered. Tech-driven. FDA-registered.
3PL warehousing is the active management of your inventory inside a third party’s facility — receiving, put-away, inventory control, picking, packing, and shipping — not simply renting space to park pallets. Jay Group runs warehousing and distribution from facilities we own and operate, where your goods move through a managed operation rather than sitting in static storage.
There is a real difference between storage and warehousing, and confusing the two costs brands money. Storage is basic space: pallets in, pallets out, with no inventory management or handling beyond simple in-and-out. Warehousing is storage plus receiving, put-away, inventory management, picking, packing, kitting, quality control, returns, and shipping — the functions that turn a building into an active distribution center. If your product needs to be counted accurately, rotated by date, and shipped on time, you need warehousing, not a self-storage unit with a loading dock.
Jay Group runs at a 99.9% accuracy rate — every order, every time — backed by a 99.9% picking and packing efficiency rate. In warehousing and distribution, that accuracy is what keeps your inventory records matching reality and your shipments matching what the customer ordered, so cycle counts and chargebacks stop eating into margin.
Most storage disputes come from how the bill is calculated. There are two common models. Pallet billing is simple — pallets on hand multiplied by a rate per pallet per month, so 40 pallets at $20 each is $800 a month — but it charges you for a full pallet position even when it’s half full. Cubic-foot billing measures the actual volume your product occupies: take a case’s length by width by height in inches, divide by 1,728 to get cubic feet per case, then multiply by cases on hand and your rate per cubic foot. A 12-by-10-by-8-inch case works out to 0.556 cubic feet; 2,000 of them at $0.55 per cubic foot is $611 a month.
Jay Group defaults to cubic-foot billing because it is the most honest model for most brands, and we measure it from a daily snapshot inside our Manhattan Associates warehouse management system — real occupancy, not a monthly estimate or a rounded-up pallet count.
We don’t broker your inventory to space we don’t control. Jay Group owns and operates four facilities: Lancaster and Mountville in Pennsylvania, Reno in Nevada, and Houston in Texas. That footprint reaches most of the continental U.S. within two days.
Jay Group runs warehousing on Manhattan Associates WMS — a longtime Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems — paired with a proprietary Order Management System and a real-time Client Access Portal you log into for inventory, orders, and shipment status. The same system that directs picks and rotates stock also captures the daily volume snapshot behind your storage bill, so what you’re charged is tied to what the system actually records.
Jay Group owns and operates four fulfillment centers totaling more than 770,000 square feet: Lancaster, Pennsylvania (250,000 sq ft, headquarters), Mountville, Pennsylvania (140,000 sq ft), Reno, Nevada (130,000 sq ft) and Houston, Texas (250,000 sq ft). All four sites are FDA-registered. Together they reach roughly 90% of the continental U.S. within two days of ground transit.
Seven-day-a-week fulfillment keeps product moving instead of waiting for Monday. Every Jay Group facility is FDA-registered, cGMP compliant, and ISO/IEC 27001 certified, with more than 60 years in the business. And because we are privately owned and woman-led, we answer to clients rather than outside investors — the operation is run for your fill rate, not a quarterly return.
Jay Group warehouses and distributes for supplement and nutraceutical brands, health and beauty, personal care, food and beverage, pet, kids and baby, and other regulated and lifestyle categories — the same brands that rely on our FDA-registered, lot-controlled operation across their DTC, wholesale, and subscription channels.
3PL warehousing is the storage and active management of your inventory in a third party’s facility — receiving, put-away, inventory control, picking, packing, and shipping — as opposed to plain storage, which is space to hold goods with no handling beyond in and out.
Storage is a safe place to hold items long-term with no inventory management. Warehousing adds receiving, put-away, inventory control, picking, packing, kitting, quality control, returns, and shipping, making the facility an active distribution center.
