Contributing to Growth – Lacoste
Lacoste has counted on Roundhouse for many years to contribute to its growth strategy. In part by relying on the effectiveness and efficiency of Roundhouse's EDI system, Lacoste has grown from 18 stores to 63 stores, and increased revenue from $180 million to $1.8 billion per year in less than five years. Over the years, Roundhouse has partnered with Lacoste to develop and implement all of their EDI systems. In ongoing efforts to contribute to Lacoste's continued growth, Roundhouse is most recently developing a new supplier EDI system to achieve higher logistic efficiency between Lacoste stores and licensees, such as Proctor and Gamble. With supplier B to C capabilities, the new system will accommodate the future growth for the fastest growing retail operation – the online store. |

This sweater supplier tried outsourcing their EDI to a web-based provider. Unfortunately, the provider was incapable of handling their EDI needs. Finally, the supplier took on the Immediately there was a change. The importer no longer missed routings, its warehouse received all paperwork and labels pre-sorted according to inventory, there were no more late shipments and most importantly, there were no more EDI-related chargebacks. Today, Roundhouse manages all of their EDI transactions and their experience of EDI processing has completely turned around. |
