FirmNL helped us meet rising EU demand and slash delivery times._
Our European sales increased and we noticed we could not meet demand in our prior situation, so our logistics partner recommended we contact Brian from FirmNL. We made an in-person visit to the 3PL and Brian’s HQ. He and Diego consulted, and then set up a Dutch entity and got fully licensed and compliant with EU regulations. Since then, we’ve been compliant and meeting our EU supply and demand. The collaboration cut delivery times dramatically.
