Thread, a UK-based online fashion retailer, faced the significant challenge of expanding its operations into the US market. For a lean company, setting up a new international distribution network typically demands huge resources and time. To meet this challenge, Thread partnered with the vendor 7bridges and adopted its AI-powered logistics platform.

The 7bridges platform provided an instant-on distribution network that automated carrier selection, customs paperwork, and tracking. This solution allowed Thread to launch its US operations from a new warehouse in just one month, a process that integrated UK-US distribution. The results were substantial, with Thread saving 50% to 60% on its total logistics costs for the new market and achieving easy scalability for future growth.
