Case Study: The Grommet achieves 450% sales growth and scalable dropship fulfillment with Shipwire

How a product launch platform partnered with Shipwire to increase their sales by 450%

The Grommet is a product‑launch marketplace that uses a hybrid 3PL and dropship model to reach customers worldwide. Rapid growth overwhelmed its drop‑ship software and created pain points—missing or late tracking numbers, inconsistent checkout and branding, and fragmented shipping accounts that hid true costs—so the company needed a scalable way to manage thousands of suppliers.

Ingram Micro Commerce & Lifecycle Services built a custom Dropship for Retail solution on the Shipwire Platform, integrating via APIs with The Grommet’s systems and providing a vendor portal, order management, automated labels/tracking, and unified shipping accounts. The result was a consistent customer experience with single shipping rates and branded packing lists, lower shipping costs from aggregated discounts, reliable API uptime, rapid supplier growth (≈600 to 1,000+), and a 450% increase in sales.
