The Challenge

Escalade Sports needed to reduce 'order to delivery' times and to dramatically reduce claims for North America home deliveries, as well as streamlining its inbound logistics from Asia.

The Solution

Escalade Sports selected SEKO Logistics for direct to consumer home deliveries within North America. SEKO then deployed an inbound logistics program in Asia to help with supply chain management, and also assists with inbound third party logistics services at strategic service centers, to fulfill holiday rush orders to retail partners.

The Result

Escalade Sports saw dramatic reduction in claims for all direct to consumer deliveries within North America, reducing buyer's remorse and increasing customer service and sales. SEKO's inbound consolidation program also realizes reduced transportation costs with less frequent inbound shipments and enables better delivery performance from vendors in China. Meanwhile, utilization of SEKO's key US distribution locations has helped provide just in time delivery services and reduced delivery costs to key Escalade Sports clients.

"SEKO was a huge help in dramatically reducing our claims for home delivery in the United States and improving on our 'order to delivery' turnaround times. Our product is oversized and we were seeing a lot of damage, along with extended transit times and missed delivery appointments. SEKO reduced our claims by 60% and improved the consistency of our delivery times considerably. As a result we happily asked them to assist us out with our inbound logistics from Asia and they've been a tremendous help bringing visibility and enhanced distribution services to our supply chain."
