The Augustine Institute is an educational apostolate that forms Catholics for the New Evangelization. When they launched an eCommerce store, they needed a fulfillment partner that would support their mission and scale with them as they grew. The Augustine Institute became one of the first clients to partner with the 5 Stones Fulfillment Center. That was a decade ago, and they’ve been with us ever since.

As the Augustine Institute expanded its ministry offerings, we adapted to meet their growing needs. This included launching new eCommerce opportunities, connecting multiple storefronts, providing custom kitting and packaging for their curriculum, and accommodating their evolving technological needs, sales strategies, product offerings, and customer bases. While upgrading our warehouse and developing more efficient processes, we were even able to reduce their costs—something that’s unheard of in an environment where shipping costs go up every year.

Throughout a decade-long (and counting) partnership with the Augustine Institute, 5 Stones has continued to provide custom solutions to support this apostolate’s growth. As a result, they’ve never needed to switch warehouses—a headache no organization ever wants to face. Today, we warehouse ~640,000 products and ship ~28,000 orders per year for the Augustine Institute. We look forward to scaling with them for decades to come!
