A Flexport Case Study
Vitruvi, a wellness brand known for essential oil products and its flagship stone and ceramic diffuser, was facing slow production, supply chain bottlenecks, and surging demand. With long lead times, high air-freight costs, and a holiday deadline approaching, Vitruvi needed a flexible working capital partner to help scale production without giving up equity. Flexport Capital, part of Flexport, became that solution.
Flexport provided data-enabled freight forwarding along with Flexport Capital financing, giving Vitruvi quick access to funds to move to a new production facility and coordinate its first shipment. The result was a major supply chain realignment: shipping costs fell from $15 per unit by air to $0.33 per unit by ocean, saving more than $50,000 in landed costs, and Vitruvi filled every order in time for Black Friday.
