What River Plate does

River Plate Incorporated is a privately held, women-owned third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in Simi Valley, California, operating continuously since its founding in July 1992 by a husband-and-wife team. The company delivers end-to-end omnichannel fulfillment services — including ecommerce order fulfillment, wholesale/B2B/retail distribution, pick-and-pack, kitting and assembly, cross-docking, Amazon FBA prep and FBM, freight logistics (FTL/LTL with customs brokerage), reverse logistics, and value-added services — to e-commerce brands, retailers, wholesalers, and marketplace sellers. Core customers span mid-market and SMB segments across toy, beauty, professional styling, comfort accessories, and printing verticals, with publicly disclosed logos including Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Best Buy, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Macy's, QVC, HSN, and Sephora.

The company's operational backbone is a Warehouse Management System (WMS) augmented by a Transportation Management System (TMS), an Integration Management System, and an EDI network (SPS Commerce), all accessed by clients via an Extensiv-powered login portal. The technology stack supports real-time inventory tracking, automated order routing, barcode scanning, and integration with over 50 platforms spanning ecommerce (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento), marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Jet, Wayfair, Overstock), OMS (Extensiv, CommerceHub, SellerCloud, Cin7), ERP (Oracle NetSuite), CRM (Salesforce, Infusionsoft), POS (Lightspeed, Square), and shipping carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL, OnTrac, OSM Worldwide, GlobalTranz).

Revenue is generated through managed-service fees on warehousing space utilization, per-order pick-and-pack, value-added service charges, and freight margin, with all pricing quote-based and customized per client (no public rate card). Distribution is sales-led across direct enterprise outreach, inside-sales for mid-market, and website-driven inbound SMB inquiries, supported by a content/case-study marketing engine and organic referral growth. The company holds WBENC, SAM, DBE, and Green Seal certifications and reports a 4.3-star Google rating across 33 reviews.
