Day 1: MARS × JoinSEA

Mid-2025 marked a new chapter as we welcomed MARS into our journey. It was more than a handshake; it was the beginning of a partnership built on trust, efficiency and a shared commitment to serve consumers better.

On Day 1 our mission was clear. Join SEA became MARS’ fulfillment and supply-chain partner, taking on the responsibility of managing inventory, streamlining warehouse operations and ensuring every order — from M&M’s® to Pedigree® — reached customers swiftly and reliably.

The first truck rolled out of our fulfillment center with a sense of excitement in the air. Our team worked behind the scenes, synchronizing stock across channels, optimizing routes and coordinating last-mile delivery while MARS products began reaching homes and stores with new speed and precision.

Day 1 was not just about operations kicking off. It was about setting a standard of efficiency, transparency and collaboration. From that first shipment onward Join SEA and MARS began building a story of growth together, one order, one delivery, one satisfied customer at a time.

Beyond Day 30: MARS × JoinSEA

In just one month, the routine turned into a rhythm. Processes that once felt new soon became second nature. Inventory syncs ran smoother, delivery schedules aligned faster, and every order began to reflect the shared standards of MARS’ global quality and JoinSEA’s local execution.

The first 30 days were about proving capability. Could we handle MARS’ complex fulfillment needs across multiple categories and channels? Could we ensure every shipment arrived on time and in perfect condition? Each successfully dispatched order, each positive customer experience, was the answer: yes, we could.

But “Beyond 30” isn’t about looking back. It’s about what comes next. The partnership has moved beyond onboarding and test runs. Now the focus is on scale, consistency and long-term operational excellence.

For MARS and JoinSEA, the journey ahead is about how far data, efficiency and collaboration can take us when they work as one.

A shared journey toward long-term success

The collaboration between MARS and JoinSEA has proven to be more than an operational arrangement. It is a long-term partnership built on shared vision, mutual growth and a commitment to delivering better experiences for consumers. With every shipment fulfilled, every inventory cycle optimized and every delivery made right on time, we move forward together toward lasting success.
