Case Study: Oakley cuts defects 60% with TradeBeyond

Oakley X TradeBeyond The Stuff Legends are Made Of

Oakley, the global performance equipment and eyewear brand, needed a better way to manage strict quality standards across its worldwide supplier network. With TradeBeyond’s quality and resilience platform, Oakley was trying to replace a manual, spreadsheet-based process that made it difficult to monitor defects, coordinate with factories, and react quickly to quality issues.

TradeBeyond implemented a global, multilingual solution for Oakley that digitized quality inspections, audits, supplier transparency, and testing workflows. The result was a 50% reduction in defective products reaching distribution centers and a 62% drop in overall DC defect rates after one year, along with faster issue resolution, better supplier accountability, and real-time analytics across the supply chain.
