Case Study: Kickstarter-backed Nomad achieves global brand growth with Skubana

Helping Nomad on a journey from Kickstarter project to global brand

Nomad, a brand that began as a Kickstarter project for a portable charging device, struggled as it expanded into a global direct-to-consumer business. By 2018, its growing product line, multiple warehouses, and sales across channels created serious inventory management issues, with teams relying on spreadsheets and disconnected systems to track stock and orders. Skubana was brought in to replace this fragmented process.

Skubana implemented a centralized inventory management platform that gave Nomad a single source of truth across inventory in transit, warehouses, and sales channels, and the transition took just four weeks. With Skubana, Nomad gained real-time operational visibility and faster decision-making, cutting implementation time dramatically compared with its prior nine-month setup. After switching, Nomad’s Shopify order volume grew an average of 14.6% per month, while Amazon order volume increased 125% per month and came to represent about 10% of online revenue.
