Overview
Christy, a renowned UK luxury home textiles brand, set its sights on expanding its presence in the competitive U.S. market—one of its most ambitious growth plans yet. To scale successfully, Christy needed a solution to tackle real-time inventory management, streamline operations, and deliver channel customization, all without compromising Christy’s commitment to quality customer experiences.
The Opportunity
Christy had multiple requirements for U.S. expansion and readiness for the holiday season. To start, the launch demanded inventory management across multiple SKUs, bundles, and B2C and B2B sales channels. They needed to manage customer-specific packaging requirements and gift requests in addition to unique packing lists, labels, and storefront configurations. Additionally, Christy’s partnership with Zola, a leading online wedding registry and planning platform, relied on manual order updates—a time-consuming and error-prone process that hindered scalability.
To succeed, Christy also needed a fulfillment partner capable of delivering on their high standards for speed, responsiveness, and exceptional customer satisfaction.
