Case Study: Wheel & Sprocket boosts profitability and automates JIT workflows with 1440 Commerce Studio

Automation of Just-in-Time Vendor Workflows Leads to Better Decisionmaking and Increased Profitability

Wheel & Sprocket, a growing eCommerce bike retailer with 9 locations and more than 30,000 SKUs, needed to replace a slow, locally based order management system that was creating bottlenecks across order, inventory, and product management. As the company expanded, it struggled with cumbersome just-in-time (JIT) vendor workflows, limited visibility into supplier inventory, and time-consuming printing of pick tickets and packing slips. Vendor 1440, using Commerce Studio, was brought in to help solve these operational challenges.

1440 implemented Commerce Studio to centralize customer records and purchase orders, automate JIT workflows to vendors, and integrate with existing tools like ShipWorks, Shopify, Magento2, ChannelAdvisor, eBay, and Amazon. The result was faster setup, streamlined fulfillment, improved inventory visibility, and automated order margin reporting that helped increase order profitability. Wheel & Sprocket also dramatically reduced the time needed to print pick tickets and packing slips, freeing the team to focus more on growth and expansion.
