U.K.-Based Footwear Brand FitFlop Selects Ryder as U.S. Supply Chain and Logistics Provider - Seite 2

In addition to enabling FitFlop to enter new markets, the footwear brand and Ryder aim to elevate the level of service provided to FitFlop’s omnichannel customers – including major retailers, boutique shops, the brand’s U.S. flagship store in New York’s Soho district, and e-commerce consumers – namely by having a local, reliable logistics partner with a proven track record for helping brands seamlessly scale with growth, market fluctuations, and seasonality.

“We collaborated with Ryder on what was a challenging timeline involving much work across the holiday period and New Year to check we were set up for a February go-live,” says Sal Billington, global logistics director for FitFlop. “An incredible amount of effort was provided from both businesses to achieve the smooth implementation we experienced. Thanks to everyone involved, this will set up our U.S. business with a solid range of omnichannel services for the future.”

Ryder now operates four multiclient distribution centers in the Columbus area, due to its relatively central U.S. location and proximity to key transportation hubs and population centers. Additionally, Ryder operates nearly 300 warehouses encompassing more than 100 million square feet across North America; and, through its e-commerce business, has the ability to deliver to 100% of the population within two days and 60% within one day.
