Case Study: JR286, a global sporting goods company, achieves SKU-level visibility, faster sales and 2–4 week inventory reductions with Shippabo

How a global sporting goods company manages complex logistics operations from a single interface

JR286 is a premier global sports equipment and accessories company moving over $1 billion in branded merchandise through a complex network of 55 distribution centers and 30 independent distributors. Facing limited visibility and control, time-sensitive capacity constraints from conventional forwarders, and the need for SKU-level inventory transparency and a single source of real-time data, JR286 turned to Shippabo and its logistics platform and fixed-rate contracting to unify and stabilize their global shipping operations.

Shippabo centralized JR286’s inventory flows at the SKU level, provided fixed-rate contracts, and automated the shipment lifecycle so factories could book in minutes from the platform. As a result, JR286’s sales team began selling earlier, inventory holding dropped by two to four weeks, production completion visibility improved, and the company expanded production across countries without adding headcount. Shippabo’s platform also delivered port-to-port visibility, container and transit details, and predictable rates that improved budgeting and accelerated JR286’s order-to-cash cycle.
