Fulfillment Feature of the Week

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves...

Since launching in November of 2024, we've been growing and evolving. The number one question we got early on was, "So what is Slotted?" Which is quickly followed up by, "so like lead generation or a matchmaker?"

Candidly - at first we were a little bit of everything. Like any new born - be it a baby, an invention, or a system - evolution and growth happen fast and with some unexpected experiences along the way. So as we've listened to providers, we've been working hard to lean into what sets us apart and to address the real challenges that fulfillment providers experience during the sales cycle.

So to answer the question, "What is Slotted?"...

Slotted is the neutral infrastructure for modern fulfillment RFPs.

We turn messy, high-stakes decisions into structured, data-driven processes. For providers, we help qualify leads instantly, streamline quoting, and showcase value with less labor. For brands, we remove guesswork and give them the tools to make confident, unbiased decisions. We are not a broker, marketplace, or lead-gen service. We are the calm, structured layer where long-term partnerships are built.
