Warehouse Distribution Done Right

Relocating warehousing and fulfillment operations from South Florida to Spectra in South Carolina has been a beneficial decision for GOLD. I greatly appreciate the accessibility of Walter Kohn, the owner, as well as the solution-focused approach of Amber Watts, the COO. Interactions with the Spectra team are always positive. Tasks such as fulfillment, inventory inspections, receiving of containers, and handling special requests are executed with efficiency. Spectra has truly become a valuable extension of the GOLD team.

We have worked with Spectra for a number of years, and they continue to provide seamless solutions for our promotional items and branded apparel for our client, Cadence. The built, host and maintain a user-friendly storefront that enables our team to connect and collaborate. Ordering is effortless, and our branded materials arrive promptly, when and where we need them, all over the world.

As an operator and investor, I’ve led transitions in growth-stage and established businesses, and I know firsthand that execution during an ownership change can either preserve momentum or erode enterprise value. We anticipated usual integration and transition complexity with our partnership of Secret Stories®, a research-aligned phonics supplement serving 100k+ educators and districts nationwide. The right print and fulfillment partner is critical in maintaining continuity, as well as protecting customer experience and growth. From day one, Spectra delivered. They ensured seamless fulfillment and maintained brand-level pick-and-pack standards while we executed a transition from WooCommerce to Shopify, along with other operational changes to improve customer experience with no disruption to customers. That kind of operational consistency is essential when you’re managing change and scaling at the same time. I view Spectra as a true partner and extension of our team. Their design and product development support helped us strengthen our product and elevate the brand across the board to further support educators and districts. The follow a golden rule that is less customary today, but they do what they say they are going to do and what is more, leave when the job is finished, not when the clock says. Their contributions have helped us expand and better serve our existing educators and literacy initiatives nationwide. I would highly recommend Spectra to any organization, especially customer-centric or growth-oriented teams looking to scale thoughtfully while maintaining operational excellence, customer continuity, and brand integrity.

To increase sales, we approached Spectra with a request to develop materials to educate, market and advertise the “Own the Wheel Well” program in service centers. Spectra collaborated with NAPA on this project from rom introduction to registration of the program kits included a website for stores to register for the program, videos, printed collateral, promotional items and signage were that would carry the NAPA and OTWW brand to service centers. Spectra really understood the NAPA brand and became an extension of our marketing team for this project.

Over the past 10 years, Spectra was able to provide, promotional products, branded apparel, print, mail and fulfillment services for Chernoff/Newman’s clients. The deliverables they provided were always explained and produced in a very professional manner day in and day out. They are laser focused on quality and deadlines which is paramount for our business. We have not begun to tap all of Spectra’s expertise in e-commerce sites and the ability to manufacture and procure products, warehouse, and distribute to B2B and B2C customers with dashboard communications all driven from world-class technology. It is no doubt they are well positioned to manage any requirement for corporations, government entities and non-profits.

Integrating with Spectra allowed us to continue using our inventory and order management system, while growing our order volume. Now we can easily control and access orders as they are placed, fulfilled and shipped.
