BestSelf Co.
Productivity Journals — Founded by Cathryn Lavery
Founder-led brand moved from hidden fees to full cost visibility
BestSelf Co. founder Cathryn Lavery needed a logistics partner that wouldn't penalize growth with hidden storage fees and opaque pricing. After switching to Founders 3PL's cost-plus model, BestSelf gained full visibility into labor, shipping, and storage costs — plus lot-level tracking per print run and direct Slack access to the warehouse team.
