Stephen Gould - Sales to Sourcing

Stephen Gould – Sales to Sourcing

Warehouse & Order Management for the largest custom product and packaging solutions provider in the United States.

The Problem

A new PPE product line has been kicked off; that means sourcing products sometimes from new suppliers, storing products, creating a new production plan, and fulfilling orders to multiple new customers. Legacy IT systems can pose a hurdle during times where your organization needs to change quickly. Organizations find themselves moving to less than ideal approaches.

Currently, inventory management, production scheduling, order planning and fulfillment are manual processes tracked on a shared spreadsheet. While this gives flexibility, it leaves opportunity for human error, it lacks notifications, and it is limited to text based information (what can fit in a spreadsheet “cell”).

Stephen Gould tapped Conmitto’s freight partner, BackHaul Direct to manage freight for the new product line.

Conmitto helps provide a direct view into Stephen Gould’s facility to integrate logistics planning with the rest of operations.
