Das Problem: 

Too much inventory and not enough shipping space

Flexsteel has been making furniture for over 120 years now. The company primarily serves hospitals, hotels, and other commercial buildings. Because its wide selection, Flexsteel often has to ship dozens of different products to the same location, often taking multiple trucks. In order to try to keep shipping damages and excess empty box space down, the company would also stock a large box inventory that took up to 3,000 square feet.

"It’s been great! It’s actually reduced some of our costs. We’ve been able to get more on a truck, which lowers our shipping costs. In some cases, we can almost double what we get on a truck."
