Their Situation
Qbedding, a prominent home comfort retailer established in 2008, faced significant challenges in managing its expanding shipping operations across five physical stores and an increasingly active online presence in North America. The company's rapid growth in e-commerce highlighted inefficiencies in its shipping processes, leading to issues with cost control, order fulfillment, and customer satisfaction.
Disjointed carrier platforms required time-consuming manual processes, creating discrepancies in shipping costs, delays in order processing, and a fragmented customer experience.
