Jazwares Action Toys Bring Playtime to Life – Powered by AMTOTE LLC's Logistics Expertise

Hunt Valley, MD – October 26, 2023 – Kids (and kids at heart!) everywhere are buzzing about the latest wave of action toys hitting shelves, and behind the smooth delivery of these sought-after playthings is AMTOTE LLC, a leading logistics and supply chain solutions provider. Located in Hunt Valley, Maryland, AMTOTE is working hand-in-hand with Jazwares, a global leader in consumer products including action figures, collectibles, plush, and licensed toys, to get playtime into the hands of eager fans. Jazwares, known for its wildly popular Squishmallows, Fortnite figures, and a growing roster of licensed properties like Pokémon and Star Wars, focuses on creating innovative and high-quality toys that spark imagination and encourage creative play. But a fantastic product means little if it can't get to stores and ultimately, to the kids who want it. That's where AMTOTE LLC steps in. "We're proud to partner with Jazwares," says a representative from AMTOTE LLC. “They're really good at what they do – designing toys that kids love. Our job is to make sure those toys are available when and where consumers want them. It’s about more than just moving boxes; it’s about enabling fun!" A Seamless Journey from Design to Display The partnership between AMTOTE and Jazwares isn’t just about transportation. It's a fully integrated supply chain solution. AMTOTE handles everything from warehousing and distribution to order fulfillment and even some aspects of inventory management. This end-to-end approach is crucial in today’s fast-paced toy market. “The toy industry is particularly demanding,” explains an industry analyst. "New toys are constantly being released, trends change quickly, and seasonal peaks like the holidays require incredible flexibility. A robust supply chain is no longer a nice-to-have; it's essential for success." AMTOTE’s 112,000+ sq. ft. facility at 11200 Pepper Rd, Hunt Valley, MD, serves as a central hub for Jazwares’ distribution network. Here, toys are received from manufacturers, carefully inspected for quality, and then efficiently sorted and shipped to retailers across the country. The company utilizes advanced warehousing technology and a dedicated team to ensure accuracy and speed. Beyond the Basics: Addressing Supply Chain Challenges The past few years have presented significant challenges to global supply chains, from port congestion and material shortages to increased shipping costs. AMTOTE has been instrumental in helping Jazwares navigate these disruptions. “We proactively identified potential bottlenecks and worked with Jazwares to develop contingency plans,” says a logistics manager at AMTOTE. “This included diversifying sourcing, securing alternative transportation routes, and increasing inventory levels for critical items. We aimed to minimize delays and ensure that retailers could maintain consistent stock levels.” This proactive approach has been particularly important for Jazwares’ popular collectible lines. Demand for these items can be unpredictable, and retailers need a reliable partner who can quickly respond to fluctuations in demand. Focus on Quality and Speed Jazwares’ commitment to quality extends beyond the toys themselves. They demand a high level of service from their logistics partners, and AMTOTE has consistently delivered. “We understand that every shipment is important,” says a warehouse supervisor at AMTOTE. “We take extra care to ensure that toys are handled properly and delivered on time. We also have a dedicated quality control team that inspects every shipment to ensure that it meets Jazwares’ rigorous standards.” Speed is also critical. In the competitive toy market, retailers need to receive shipments quickly to keep up with demand. AMTOTE utilizes a network of transportation providers to offer a variety of shipping options, including expedited delivery.
