Every back-to-school season is met with a familiar test – squeezing in haircuts, buying school supplies and clothes. For French Toast, back-to-school means fulfilling a flood of school uniform orders on a tight timeline.
The family-owned childrenswear brand was enjoying strong demand with room to expand, but orders requiring custom embroidery added extra steps and time to the process. The company needed a logistics partner to help simplify their operation and help them grow.
A lesson in simplicity: UPS built a one-stop solution that manages the entire process, reducing the time to fill customized orders from weeks to days. Here are five ways we support French Toast:
Earning a gold star: With help from UPS, French Toast enjoys fewer handoffs and a single partner managing the journey from the factory floor to front door.
“Previously, we managed our growth around warehouse and processing capacity. Now that we're powered by UPS, we can really see what's possible for this brand,” said Alfred J. Sutton, Chief Supply Chain Officer of LT Apparel, parent company of French Toast. “With UPS, we can focus on expanding our business, serving more schools and creating new opportunities for growth.”
“We take the burden off our customers by managing every part of their supply chain,” said UPS Supply Chain Solutions Director Stephen Kronenthal. “That allows them to do what they do best – making and selling high-quality products.”
