How WSA runs operations for real brands

From performance eyewear to fleet hardware to 5G devices: the receiving, provisioning, kitting, labeling and fulfillment behind each program, from one Kearny Mesa facility.

How WSA powers Bobster Eyewear

A real-world look at WSA's dual-channel fulfillment, in-warehouse repacking, storage, and labeling for a fellow San Diego brand.

Bobster Eyewear
Performance Eyewear · San Diego, CA · bobster.com

Eye-Tech® for any adventure — stored, labeled, and shipped from one San Diego address.

Founded in 1994, Bobster® is the performance eyewear brand of choice for motorcyclists, law enforcement, military, cyclists, and outdoor adventurers. With 81+ active SKUs and distribution across 30+ countries, their logistics needs are anything but simple.

Bobster's product arrives pre-packed from China. WSA receives, stores, and fulfills from our Kearny Mesa warehouse — and when product needs to be repacked or relabeled for specific channels or markets, we handle that in-house before it ships. DTC Shopify orders, B2B wholesale dealer shipments, and returns all flow through one WSA facility.

Ready to ship, fast

Pre-packed product is received and put away ready to fulfill. When in-warehouse repacking or relabeling is needed, WSA turns it around on-site — no outside vendors, no delays.

🌍

Global B2B from one location

Dealers across 30+ countries serviced from WSA's single San Diego facility. Retailer-specific labeling, compliance documentation, and LTL/FTL coordination all handled.

📊

One portal for everything

Bobster's entire team monitors DTC orders, wholesale POs, labeling jobs, and returns from one WSA client portal — low-stock alerts per SKU, no per-user fees.

🎯

Zero retailer chargebacks

Every B2B shipment prepared to exact retailer spec — compliance labels, case counts, packing slips, and documentation checked before anything ships.

🏷️

Flexible in-warehouse labeling

Market-specific labels, retailer barcodes, or compliance stickers applied at WSA as needed — no separate labeling vendor, no sending product elsewhere.

🤝

A real team, not a ticket

Two San Diego companies working together. Bobster can drop off inventory, visit the warehouse, and call a real person — not submit a support ticket and wait.

"WSA handles our full operation — DTC, wholesale, in-warehouse labeling, and returns — from one San Diego location. Having a local partner who knows our products and treats our business like their own has been invaluable."

How WSA powers Atel USA

A dual-role partnership — WSA serves as Atel's 3PL backbone and authorized distributor, moving wireless and IoT hardware to customers across the United States.

Their products connect homes, businesses, fleets, and enterprise networks across the country.

WSA plays two distinct roles for Atel: as their 3PL partner — managing warehousing, real-time inventory, software updates, on-site audits, relabeling, and serialization — and as an authorized distributor, actively selling Atel's product line to wireless carriers, IoT integrators, and enterprise customers throughout the USA.
