Case Study: Destination XL cuts report printing costs 75% and centralizes 11,000 reports with Redwood Reporting (Redwood Software)

Retailer reduces operational costs with web-based content and report management solution

Destination XL (DXL) is the largest omni-channel specialty menswear retailer with 300+ stores in North America and a significant online business. Faced with an extraordinary number of SKUs, complex size combinations and sourcing across many factories, DXL relied on paper‑based inventory, sales reports and shipping manifests that were slow to search, costly to print/mail/store and didn’t give executives timely, actionable data.

DXL implemented Redwood Reporting’s web‑based, centralized report processing and distribution solution in under six weeks, giving teams a single access point for roughly 11,000 reports and a Bundler tool to deliver the exact data executives need. Results included a 75% reduction in report printing costs, near‑instant shipping manifests to stores, elimination of paper archives and broad adoption across finance, sales, operations and merchandising.
