How Duluth Trading Company transformed peak season challenges with Shipium. They are ready for peak. Are you? "Shipium’s flexibility helps us optimize for what’s best for Duluth while still getting the benefits of automation across all our shipping operations." —?Brad Comstock Duluth previously had a shipping solution in place, but they faced significant challenges that limited their efficiency during peak seasons. As the 2023 peak season approached, these challenges threatened to escalate costs and disrupt operations, particularly with rising order volumes during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. By adopting Shipium, Duluth significantly exceeded its previous capabilities, enhancing flexibility and efficiency during peak periods, including: Cost Containment Strategy —?dramatic cost savings were found Responsive Marketing Support —?ops partnered with marketing to make quick changes to support an opportunistic promotional strategy. Pretty amazing results: Enhanced Control The self-service console allowed Duluth to efficiently manage shipping operations and configurations during peak season. Expert Support Shipium’s collaborative approach helped identify significant cost-saving opportunities through joint analysis with Duluth’s team. Cost Efficiency The carrier selection process ensured the lowest shipping costs while meeting customer delivery expectations, particularly for promotional commitments. Operational Smoothness Warehouses using Shipium experienced no downtime during the peak season, even amid rapid changes to support marketing initiatives.

The Elements of a Modern Supply Chain — Watch our vision for how to modernize supply chains. There are 3 pillars: 1 → Customer Focus Supply chains are built from the ground up to serve customers. 2 → Optimization Control costs and meet customer expectations by managing trade offs from one end of the supply chain to the other. 3 → Automation Coordinate and scale decisions in a way that creates a path to profitable growth, and creates time for strategy. When done right, this kicks off a flywheel of newfound revenue growth and cost savings that continuously powers investments into further growth and savings. We —?and you —?can't do it alone, though. It requires an ecosystem, which is why leading innovators like Green Mountain powering a future strategy, with best-of-breed systems of record like Manhattan Associates, Blue Yonder, K?rber Supply Chain Software, and all the amazing carriers in our pre-integrated network combine with Shipium to help you modernize on your journey ahead.

We care about the relationship between carriers and their customers. Our job is to enable it, not get in the way. We're grateful that carriers appreciate that, and speak to the joint value we can bring to shippers across industries. As peak season starts to rev up, ensuring shippers are set up for success to help meet the demands of customers starts with ensuring their carrier networks are set up for success. It's going to be a great rest of the year!

A big reason modern operators are turning to Shipium is our Console—a centralized spot to take total control of shipping operations. Legacy systems make it really hard to own business rules, updates, carriers, rates, and hundreds more configurations that matter. It can take months to get the simplest change made! And on top of that, you often have to repeat the changes again at a different facility. All that goes away with Shipium. Our Console becomes a central spot to manage all those things, across all origins and carriers, without the requirement of external IT support. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gUphWt_b
