How a global sporting goods company manages complex logistics operations from a single interface

Shippabo provided JR286 with a robust platform that integrates with their current logistics processes to give them better control over how, when, and where they ship. Centralizing their inventory moves on a SKU-level was game-changing. When JR286 purchased the Dakine brand, they had access to centralized supply information and SKU visibility on the licensed products plus the subsidiary. This allowed their sales team to start selling earlier, reduce their inventory holding by two to four weeks, and gain production completion information from the factory much faster. The fixed-rate contract had two clear benefits for the company right away: it allowed them to better budget the cost of sales and the contract provided rates their subsidiary was not able to access as a standalone organization. Now, JR286 is taking full advantage of Shippabo’s platform with their sales, operations, and logistics teams all accessing the system. Before Shippabo, JR286 had to individually reach out to carriers, sift through key information, and spend excessive time trying to bring their information together. With Shippabo’s solution, JR286 can gain visibility into which shippers are moving inventory SKUs and see data broken down by origin port, delivery port, mode of transportation, cargo ready date, and more. They can instantly access shipment, container, and related information, including carrier, contract type, transit time, and loading port. They can also automate their shipments lifecycle so their factories could book in minutes directly from Shippabo’s platform—thanks to pre-populated contract information and an easy-to-follow action item list.
