Company |
As one of the world’s fastest growing e-commerce companies, this business focuses on everyday design across all price points and all verticals. After launching in June 2011, its success has skyrocketed, with more than 10 million members in its first 18 months. |
Challenge |
The company was experiencing rapid growth in both volume and stock-keeping unit (SKU) count and recognized a need for additional distribution capacity. However, it had very little historical data to aid in projecting future requirements. The company had also developed its own warehouse management system (WMS), which required continuous revisions and updates to meet rapidly evolving operational requirements. |

The Results |
