Customer Success Case Study

New Era Grows Business with NFL License

New Era’s existing operation, outsourced with logistics provider Menlo Worldwide (now XPO Logistics), was already near capacity. The business was growing steadily and adding new lines of apparel and accessories. Then the addition of the NFL license doubled volume virtually overnight.

After extensive alternative analysis the agreed upon solution was a retrofit to their current space and implementation of a new method of operations to handle the growth in volume. With the new distribution operation, New Era and Menlo are able to service the NFL business and can continue growing with new licensing partners and markets. Service has improved as orders that used to take days are now fulfilled in hours with greater than 97% accuracy. And the new operations are much more efficient, decreasing operations expense by 30% percent.

I am extremely happy with our early, under budget delivery. I commend the team for their great work.
