CHALLENGE
Back in 2012, Charles Tyrwhitt started a search for a supply chain partner who could work alongside their head office functions in providing an efficient global supply chain and international transportation operation. Without their own import/export department within the business, Charles Tyrwhitt required an outsourced solution to manage this element on their business.
SOLUTION
Within a short space of time, SEKO quickly established that Charles Tyrwhitt would benefit from an in-house expert working alongside the various Charles Tyrwhitt teams. This reduced the demand on the Buying & Merchandising functions, allowing them to spend more time on their core functions. To improve visibility within the supply chain, SEKO360 was implemented providing faster & easier shipment approval & enhanced reporting functionality.
RESULT
SEKO acts as an extension to Charles Tyrwhitt’s supply chain, assisting & managing processes on their behalf. From an initial intake plan, all the way through to lead time & budget analysis, SEKO’s in house expertise provides the support required - with the resource of the other SEKO teams behind them. Supporting Charles Tyrwhitt’s international growth, SEKO also manages a fulfillment operation for US stores, providing daily replenishment deliveries direct to store and ecommerce returns management.
