Case Study: Map of Our Life scales global ecommerce with Gelato

Map of Our Life scales beyond the US with Gelato after hitting profitability in month one

Map of Our Life, a personalized print ecommerce business founded by a couple in California, faced significant operational challenges scaling their venture. After launching successfully from their home, they were overwhelmed by demand and struggled with inventory management, shipping logistics, and supply chain disruptions, which forced them to constantly switch suppliers. To achieve sustainable growth, they needed a solution to handle production and fulfillment. They turned to the print-on-demand services offered by Gelato.

By implementing Gelato's global print-on-demand network, the vendor handled all production, packaging, and shipping. This solution freed the founders from day-to-day operational tasks, eliminated their inventory concerns, and allowed them to reclaim their personal space. Most significantly, Gelato enabled Map of Our Life to expand internationally by making overseas shipping feasible and cost-effective. The results provided the founders with more time to focus on scaling the business and the freedom to work on their own terms.
