FiveReasons, a Latvia-based startup, produces and sells freeze-dried instant smoothies that boost diets and eliminate food waste. These smoothies are made with real fruits, veggies, berries, and seeds and are 100% natural with no added sugar, additives, or preservatives. The brand was founded in early 2022 by founders with a passion for healthy food and nutrition and is sold through Fivereasons online stores and businesses like restaurants and cafés.
High shipping costs
Before partnering with Swotzy, FiveReasons owners found themselves switching between various shipping companies, trying to find the best rates.
“Starting out as a small business, we were looking to find good deals with various shipping companies. Sometimes, we’d go with FedEx, other times with Latvian Post, but the rates seemed too high. Then Swotzy reached out to us with a great solution. They gave us a straightforward interface that lets us connect with different shippers and gave us some competitive rates.”
It’s no secret free shipping is a great incentive businesses can use. But for a small business with big plans, resources must be planned carefully, and profit margins can’t be eaten away by free shipping if the shipping fees are high. That’s why using Swotzy is a game-changer. The shipping software finds the best-fit delivery option: cheapest, fastest, or most sustainable, depending on the business’s goals. And FiveReasons can persuade their shoppers with free standard shipping on all orders.
Optimising resources
However, FiveReasons found that Swotzy helped with more than just getting favourable shipping rates.
“What impressed us more? Making labels, sorting out shipments, and even getting them picked up became so much quicker. We’ve seen our shipment processing time cut in half, and our rates go down by about 20%.”
Saving valuable resources on logistics means being able to expand other parts of the business: marketing, product development, and customer support.
And, in the case of FiveReasons, expanding business leads to healthier, happier people.
Rooted in a commitment to quality and sustainability, the company has big plans for the future.
Going global with Swotzy
Since launching in 2021, FiveReasons has been on a mission to give people an effortless way to consume more vegetables and fruit on a daily basis. Although currently selling in a few regions, the company has big plans for the future.
“Right now, we’re only selling in a few selected countries, but we are planning to expand soon. And with the kind of know-how Swotzy has in the shipping world, we feel very excited about working with them when we go global. Their platform? Easy to understand and use. And the few times we had a hiccup or question, their team was right there to help.”
“We’re happy with Swotzy. Besides making our lives easier, the money we’re saving lets us allocate funds to other important matters such as marketing and new products. Big thumbs up from us!”
