How Made.com uses Flexport to manage a global supplier network from its U.K. headquarters

Overview

Made.com is a U.K.-based retailer, selling furniture and housewares to clients throughout Europe on its e-commerce platform. Upending the traditional furniture retailer model, Made employs a dynamic supply chain to offer high-quality goods at affordable rates.

Challenges

Made partners closely with a network of designers and factories to produce its goods. With its entire logistics team based in its London headquarters, visibility and communication with its dozens of suppliers in Asia had become challenging as the company grew.

Solutions

With Flexport, Made’s been able to onboard its suppliers onto the platform directly, providing them a shared workspace to collaborate, streamlined shipment-level communication, and reporting and analytics to bring accountability to their supplier relationships.
