Enterprise Tool Manufacturer Scales Distribution, Ships Millions of Units per Month to High-Volume U.S. Retail Partners

The Challenge #

An industrial tool manufacturer saw accelerating sales from its retail partners. But, the company didn’t have the distribution capacity or warehouse labor necessary to meet increasing demand. They needed a flexible solution to deliver to their largest national retail partners.

The manufacturer needed to move fast to meet demand and fulfill the retail partner’s SLAs. The goal: Create a flexible distribution solution to replenish the retail partner’s nationwide distribution centers and meet SLAs requiring 99% accuracy for two-day packing and shipping.

The Solution #

The manufacturer leveraged Flexible Warehousing Infrastructure to expand high-volume distribution beyond its existing network. And it rapidly onboarded a qualified Flexe Logistics Network warehouse operator. Intuitive technology enabled high volume distribution—fast.

Results #

With Flexe, the manufacturer scaled distribution to meet demand fast—without investing CapEx on new fixed facilities. It leveraged port-adjacent warehouse space to seamlessly distribute products across the US. The company shipped nearly two million units per month across 700+ SKUs for its largest retail partner. All while meeting customer requirements for 99% OTIF accuracy.
