Challenge - Evolving our global footprint amid Brexit
As told to by Jack Vasante to AMZ Prep, Operations Manager of Club Speed Golf
With a distribution point in London, we anticipated that cross-border shipping issues would become more prevalent with Brexit pending.
As such and to avoid any delays or complications from the future relationship between Britain and Europe post-“Brexit”, our company decided to move some operations into North America directly permanently with AMZ Prep so it can be closer on hand for customers within this region who may need items sooner than before – whether they’re buying online or at one of their store’s location across town!
AMZ Prep’s software
AMZ Preps’ front-end software was the primary decision-making factor for me in choosing them over other fulfillment solutions.
Their software is so simple and intuitive, especially as so many 3PLs have either bad or no front-facing software, making it impossible to enter orders, keep track of what’s leaving or entering the warehouse.
Results
On the supply chain side, I just throw in what we placed at the factory into a WRO in the AMZ Prep dashboard, and I can see how many units we have on hand, what’s incoming, what’s at docks, and so on. I can see all of those numbers in a few seconds, and it makes life so much easier.
Working with the AMZ Prep team has been really good. Our Account Executive in Canada, Dan, has been super helpful every step of the way. Samantah Martin, our Implementation Specialist was with us even longer than planned, because our inventory was getting delayed, but she was continually always available on the setup side. The software is great, but the people have made it even better.
Whats next
Worldwide, we grew 50% last year, 100% the year prior, and 200% the year prior to that. We have no plans to slow down, and we’re looking to expand into new markets with AMZ Prep.
Our organic growth has been great. We’ve never paid a single cent for celebrity endorsements; people just buy our product and we’ve seen such great adoption on the professional level. It validates that our scientifically-validated and peer-reviewed product works.
We recently bought our international distribution in Australia and Europe from individual partners who were running it before, and we even brought on their employees full-time to our team. We’re taking a more direct approach to products, expanding internationally a great deal, and taking on ownership overseas as we expect explosive growth.
AMZ Prep will be a big part of that.
