Peak logistics performance starts with a clear mind 🧘♂️ Ending the week off with a throwback to our team’s 6am Zen Yoga session at our 2024 offsite in the Dominican Republic (with those who woke up for it).

Finding the right 3PL partner for perishable goods isn’t just about shipping- it’s about trust, reliability, and delivering quality to our customers. At Fish Fixe // Seafood Delivery, we know that our seafood is only as good as the journey it takes to get to your door, so having a logistics partner who truly understands the complexities of cold-chain shipping is essential. Grip is a true extension of our team. Their dedication to our business allows us to focus on what we do best: providing high-quality seafood for busy households. 🫶 We love you Grip!

The most important thing is that it's used every day. Every quarter, every two to three months, they have new features coming out to help us get more efficient at what we do.” Building, improving, and optimizing—every single day. That’s how we help our partners stay ahead. Appreciate the Wildgrain team for trusting us! 🧡 🥖
