Continue to scale
As the brand continues to scale its offerings into new international markets, commercial director Lars Gelling, who has been with the brand for over 18 years and built up its export business, sought the proper logistics and fulfillment partner who could help them achieve their ambitious growth.
International online business expansion
With Summum’s international online business expansion, he knew that to keep up with rising customer expectations, particularly regarding shipping speed and cost, it would be best to secure dedicated third-party logistics providers to help manage their inventory storage, order fulfillment, and returns.
Wanting to work with a dedicated fashion logistics and fulfillment partner, he reached out to Modexpress back in 2020. “As we were growing and growing, I decided that we needed to find a dedicated logistics partner who could take over the shipping and fulfillment of our pre-orders,” explained Gelling.
