What Thankful does

Thankful is a boutique third-party logistics (3PL) and product manufacturing partner headquartered in a single warehouse facility in Niwot, Colorado (Longmont area), founded in 2018. The company offers two integrated service lines: 3PL fulfillment — including omnichannel shipping, real-time inventory tracking with expiration and lot number management, custom kitting and assembly, returns processing, and temperature-controlled storage — and product manufacturing, covering sourcing, freight coordination, formulation, and co-packing for supplements and personal care products. Its operating technology is a Warehouse Management System with 100+ pre-built integrations to sales channels, supported by discounted shipping rates, same-day shipping cutoff at 11am MT, and same-day international shipment capability. The facility is FDA registered, USDA Organic certified, and cGMP certified, positioning Thankful to serve regulated consumer product categories.

The company's customer base is concentrated in mid-market and enterprise consumer brands across six verticals: beauty and skin care, health and wellness, supplements, apparel, beverages, and pet supplements, with custom kitting and fragile-item handling as additional use cases. Thankful's go-to-market is direct and consultation-based — brands book a 30-minute discovery meeting via Calendly or submit an inquiry form, after which the company delivers custom-tailored pricing within 24 hours. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis across per-order/per-unit fulfillment fees and manufacturing/co-packing fees, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The competitive position is built on boutique service quality — direct founder access, Slack/phone/text support without ticketing systems, and custom SOPs co-developed per brand — rather than scale. Leadership comprises CEO and co-founder Luis C. Gamardo; total headcount is reported as 1-10 employees. No funding rounds, revenue figures, or named customer logos are disclosed in available sources, making the operation small and founder-led at present scale.
