Reimagining Fulfillment to Cut Freight Spend by $4.3M
The Challenge
A premium cookware brand needed clarity on whether its existing fulfillment footprint could scale efficiently as DTC and B2B channels grew. Rising freight costs and unclear warehouse roles hinted at inefficiencies—but leadership needed data to make confident network decisions.
Our Approach
Izba ran a rapid, three-week RFP process across five 3PLs, analyzing inbound and outbound freight, parcel rates, and warehouse capacity. We built a dynamic network model to test alternative node configurations and simulate cost-to-serve across different growth scenarios.
The Outcome
- 13.6% reduction in freight spend, saving $4.3M annually
- Optimized multi-node strategy balancing cost, coverage, and scalability
- Clear roadmap for future growth through an efficient warehouse footprint
By aligning data, design, and decision-making, Izba delivered a network strategy that improved margins and positioned them for long-term operational scale.
