Crowd Cow partners with ethical farms, fisheries, and other food producers globally to source sustainable, quality beef, seafood, pork, and other items. By sourcing from small farms and managing processing, Crowd Cow brings products to consumers who otherwise might not have access.
connection between Crowd Cow and Jitsu is “a plug-and-play easy operation at this point,” Sievert says. As Jitsu continues to expand its facilities network, Crowd Cow will as well, so long as it makes sense, given the company’s sales volume density in a particular area. “I’ll always expand with them when we can,” Sievert says. As of September 2025, Crowd Cow was planning to launch with Jitsu in several more cities, including Chicago, Milwaukee, and Detroit. TECH ENABLES ONTIME DELIVERIES Jitsu’s on-time delivery consistently remains above 99%, Bryant says. In addition, Jitsu’s technology captures every moment from the time an order comes into its system, while it’s sorted and transferred to a driver, and then delivered, providing end-to-end visibility. Should an issue arise with an order, Jitsu is able to communicate with the driver. Its call center technology, as well as its database of information on delivery addresses, allow for real-time, dynamic problem-solving that takes into account multiple variables, such as delivery windows, parcel sizes, throughput within the dispatch facility, and the capacity of the drivers’ vehicles, Bryant says. Jitsu’s sortation technology is internally
developed and designed to handle both information that’s accurate, as well as information that isn’t, using algorithms that have been honed over time. Because Jitsu builds its own technology, it can add features to improve quality, such as re ning its ability to guide the driver to the correct drop-off location. Along with speed, Jitsu offers a level of customization that enhances customer service, Sievert says. For instance, if a customer lives in a high-traf c area that’s prone to theft, they can request that the Jitsu delivery driver place the package under a bench on the side of the house, rather than at the front door. The driver also photographs the delivered box to show it’s located where the customer wanted it. The lower overall transit time Crowd Cow achieved by working with Jitsu helps ensure that its products arrive promptly and on time, which is especially important for customers who rely on consistent deliveries. “Currently we are on a six- week trend of 100% on-time delivery each week,” Sievert says. By pairing last-mile networks with proprietary technology, Jitsu helps Crowd Cow protect perishables, delight customers, control costs, and scale nationwide without compromising speed or reliability.
systems are connected to the major postal consolidators that aggregate shipments from many shippers and sort them by region. Jitsu works with the consolidators to coordinate nal deliveries so it can provide an ef cient and consistent customer experience. A member from Jitsu’s client success team will partner with a new shipper to walk through the steps needed to get labels and orders owing, and to ramp up initial volumes. “We follow a clear playbook on how we launch clients,” Bryant says. Crowd Cow is connected to Jitsu through its warehouse management and order administration systems, both of which were internally developed. These integrations enable Crowd Cow to transmit order information and physically tender packages to Jitsu, which can then coordinate deliveries. Crowd Cow’s goal is two days time in transit with no express/air small package shipping, Sievert says. Crowd Cow covers 98% of the lower 48 states with this service level, with a small amount of three-day transit into remote areas of the country. For labeling, Crowd Cow uses EasyPost, an all-in-one shipping platform. It also has a proprietary integration to Jitsu’s application programming interface (API) to retrieve proof-of-delivery photos.
