Concern: Countrywide Retail Backroom Storage Needs

An expanding apparel company needed to overcome a challenge that is often faced in the retail industry: having a sustainable solution for supplying their backroom storage needs across the United States.

As the company expanded eastward across the U.S., their go-to manufacturer became a long distance from their new stores. This resulted in higher freight charges and longer lead times.

As a result, the company began managing multiple rivet shelving and track ladder manufacturers across the U.S. This became a time-consuming task to complete each time one of their stores required shelving.
