| Helping our clients fulfill their promises
One of the toughest challenges businesses face today is mounting customer expectations – an ever-growing demand for lower prices and better, faster service. Meeting these expectations hinges on the performance of a company’s supply chain. Yet for most organizations, supply chains are broad networks of people, processes, systems and assets, often misaligned with the company’s vision. If not managed well, supply chain performance can impede company success.
We’re Fortna, and we solve tough supply chain challenges for our clients every day. We work side by side with many of the world’s top brands – companies like L.L.Bean, Sony and Burlington Coat Factory. We help them get to market quicker and more affordably, and to become more responsive to customer demands.
Through our partnership, our clients are better able to make and keep bold promises to their customers and other stakeholders. For example:
> Accelerating Revenue Growth. When ASICS America clocked a healthy 20% surge in revenue for its athletic shoes and apparel, company leadership wanted to capitalize on the brand’s momentum. Fortna mapped out a growth strategy, which included the design and construction of a 520,000 square-foot distribution facility. The result: ASICS was quickly able to double its product output and keep its financial growth racing ahead.
> Keeping Customers Happy. MSC Industrial Supply Co. had a winning idea to improve customer satisfaction: push back the daily cut-off time for busy companies to order any of its more than 600,000 stocked products. Fortna studied MSC’s complex warehouse operations and found an innovative way to speed up order cycles without overhauling its operations. The result: happier customers and the largest cost savings initiative in company history.
> Driving Business Forward. When O’Reilly Auto Parts acquired its largest competitor, it needed to merge both companies’ distribution operations and to deliver immediate financial results. Fortna partnered with O’Reilly to shift the integration into overdrive. The result: an expertly engineered 19-facility distribution network able to serve a combined 3,500 stores with 120,000 SKUs.
