With Black Friday and Cyber Monday behind us, we're starting to see more brands turn their attention to their 2026 fulfillment strategy.

From conversations with brands who have come to Slotted over the past 10 days, there is an underlying theme: They are in search of a better "Fit".

Earlier this week I wrote about my take on Fit and how providers can diagnose it early.

📦 This time of year always highlights the importance of labor planning and flexible labor strategies. Check out Logistics Management and Supply Chain Management Review's free white paper on closing the labor gap with overlooked talent pools.

📦 Although the noise around tariffs has quieted, shippers are still keen to leverage FTZs and other strategies to defer or offset the burden of tariffs.

New Options to Support Your Growth in 2026

Why We Updated Our Subscription Tiers

We heard consistent feedback from providers that pricing needed to be simpler and that showcasing multiple locations shouldn’t create added cost. In response, we updated our base subscription - Marketplace Access - to make participation clearer and more predictable.

We also introduced Sales OS, a new enterprise tier built for teams that want Slotted to become the backbone of their sales process—with embedded qualification, automated scoring, and deeper CRM integration.
