Wonolo Customer Testimonial

Win-Win Situation with Wonolo

We enjoyed using Wonolo at one of our locations, especially when we were at peak shipping time (holiday season). As a fulfillment company, our clients have heavy shipping demands from online orders all throughout the year. Having flexibility and taking pressure off of full-time employees really helped us. Plus, it created job opportunities for those temporary workers, and Wonolo helped our company achieve our shipping goals. It was great for everyone involved! We are now using Wonolo at additional locations in the Midwest and South.
