About the client
Unlabelled is a small social enterprise with a mission to reduce the incidence of youth suicide. A non-for-profit organisation, Unlabelled has a range of affordable everyday skincare and body wash products that are now sold in some of Australia’s largest retail outlets, alongside their online website. 100% of profits from the sale of products are directed towards charity organisations that help prevent youth suicide within Australia.
The challenge
Unlabelled faced significant challenges with their previous supplier’s retail logistics operations, which were unable to accommodate the brand’s rapid growth and evolving B2B and B2C requirements. Previously, Unlabelled had been working with separate wholesalers for storage, however, they faced logistical complexities due to the lack of a dedicated warehouse facility. These challenges were further compounded by the stringent demands of some of Australia’s largest wholesaler customers, which included specific labelling, stacking, packing, and booking time requirements.
Unlabelled’s previous providers struggled to meet the unique needs of their B2B services, hindering their ability to efficiently process store orders and comply with the strict standards set by their prominent wholesale partners.
