Case Study
Sporting Goods
Standvast empowers sporting goods brands to overcome logistical challenges by simplifying the shipment of bulky items, reducing costs, and providing the tools to navigate seasonal demand fluctuations confidently.
Challenge
In the sporting goods industry, delivering products that inspire active lifestyles is key — but it’s not without obstacles. The bulky nature of treadmills, bikes, or kayaks makes shipping more costly and complex, often impacting the bottom line.
High shipping fees for oversized or heavy products can disrupt pricing strategies, eroding profitability. Add in the seasonal demand fluctuations tied to major sporting events or holidays, and brands are left juggling logistics and warehousing, often struggling to scale during peak times without incurring high costs or stockouts.
Solution
At Standvast, we believe there’s always a better way to solve complex logistics challenges. We provide specialized freight solutions for sporting goods brands that make shipping large items more efficient. Whether it’s less-than-truckload (LTL) or full-truckload (FTL) services, we ensure bulky products are handled with care and precision.
Through our strong carrier partnerships, we negotiate discounted rates for bulk shipments, lowering costs and improving profitability. And with our advanced, data-driven forecasting tools, we help brands predict and prepare for seasonal demand fluctuations, optimizing inventory and ensuring they’re ready for every peak season, without the risk of overstock.
Speed matters too. A recent survey by Standvast Fulfillment and Supply Chain Dive revealed that fast delivery increases median conversion rates by 47%, with shrinking delivery windows. The vast majority (94%) of supply chain executives strive to meet customers’ “two days or less” delivery expectations.
Results
Working with Standvast, many sporting goods brands have simplified the shipping process for even their most challenging products. We’ve reduced shipping costs significantly by optimizing freight and carrier relationships.
More importantly, our advanced forecasting tools gave them the predictability they needed to manage inventory confidently during peak seasons. The result? Greater efficiency, improved profitability, and a logistics solution that allows them to focus on what matters most — helping their customers live healthier, more active lives.
