GoLite Footwear has to a warehouse in Barrett Distribution Center in Fairfield, CA in an effort to reduce supply lead time from manufacturers in Asia by ten days.
Orders may now be delivered to retailers up to two weeks earlier than in seasons past. In addition, Barrett’s state-of-the-art operation includes several advanced capabilities. Fewer stock outs will improve order fill accuracy and order fill rates. Enhanced inventory control will result in more accurate available-to-sell information for our sales team and customers. Their superior value-added services include special labeling required by some of our accounts.
“We always strive to provide our customers with the highest level of service possible. We are confident that our move to Barrett will allow us to get product onto retail shelves quickly, allowing them to maximize sales opportunities throughout the season”, says Scott Briggs, President of GoLite Footwear. GoLite Footwear began shipping orders from the new location on July 5.
