saved with a remote team
Grateful Fred rebuilt supply chain with a remote team and saved $66K in year one.
The Challenge
Grateful Fred is an online store known for chrome badges, metal stickers, and custom emblems. With fewer than ten employees, the Georgia team needed supply chain help.
They first asked us for a full-time Supply Chain Manager. A typical salary for that role in Georgia is about $126K a year, which is a lot for a small team.
Our Approach
As their needs changed, we suggested a more flexible setup: a small remote supply chain team.
Precious, their Supply Chain Manager, handles suppliers, freight forwarders, and buying plans. A Techpak Designer joined within the same budget to create technical drawings, measurement specs, and bills of materials for production.
The Results
Grateful Fred paid about $60K in the first year, saving over $66K compared to a typical full-time salary.
The team now has expert supply chain support and design help in one place. Nothing slips through the cracks, and the founder can focus on growing the brand.
The supply chain team has been wonderful! Precious is always on top of her duties, and nothing slips through the cracks.
