Julia and the ops team at Brooklinen were tasked with
a near-impossible initiative of launching their Soho
pop-up store in 4 weeks in time for their busy holiday
season.

were able to help the BL team figure out how to operationalize the
launch of their pop-up through consultative services and functional
workflows.
FEATURES USED: Stitch extended services
RESULT: The Brooklinen team, along with our dedicated CSM, was able to
successfully launch their pop-up store in Soho just in time for the holiday
rush, without compromising on critical brand experience elements like
buy in store, ship to home, and mimicking their online shopping
experience in-store.
“Raana, our CSM acts as another Brooklinen
ops team member…she has this unique ability
to take all of our ambitions and all of the
challenges we are experiencing and interpret
them into functional workflows.”

the company. But having investors, we have to be
able to show growth. I’m not worried, though. I’m
confident we have the right set up with Stitch as
the central hub.”

As a popular brand that also maintains lean inventory
across warehouses to improve cash flow, Peak Design
often has several items on backorder. When a
customer order contained a backorder, they would
either have to manually split the order to partially
fulfill the other in-stock items, or hold the entire order
until the backordered item was back in-stock.

Peak DesignBACKORDER MANAGEMENT FOR BETTER CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
SOLUTION: Stitch’s automated backorder management capabilities
would automatically split orders that contain a backordered item and
continue to partially fulfill all in-stock line items. Stitch also automatically
releases backordered items when stock becomes available.
FEATURES USED: Automated Backorder Management, Automated
Geo-location Order Routing, SPS and EDI integrations for wholesale,
Reporting and Analytics.
RESULT: Peak Design was able to process and manage over 600 orders
that contained a backordered item during the holidays to reduce the
number of angry customers, customer support tickets, and time spent on
order management.
“That’s 600 potential angry
